Today, Tues. May 26th, President Barack Obama announced his two-week deliberance on the newest Supreme Court nominee. Sonia Sotomayor is up for confirmation after this morning's annoucement. A federal appeals court judge who has the hard knock upbringing, intellect, empathy, and a powerful stance on legal and constitutional issues will provide a more liberal leaning sway in the replacement of the honorable David Souter.
As quoted in the New York Times article linked above, Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine, said she was pleased that President Obama had chosen a well-qualified woman. “I share the view that the proper role of the judiciary is one of interpreting the Constitution and acts of Congress, not legislating from the bench,”
As a future female attorney I smile in the choice to serve the progression of females in positions of deep power and consquence.
