President
Barack Obama has nominated Sonia Sotomayor to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court
and if she is confirmed by the Senate she would become the first Hispanic to
hold a position on the country’s highest court.
The
54-year-old federal appeals court judge, educated at Princeton and Yale, has
long been seen as a frontrunner for the spot vacated by the retiring Justice
David Souter and would bring more judicial experience to the Supreme Court than
any other justice confirmed over the past 70 years.
Obama
has been leaning towards Sotomayor as his first Supreme Court nominee after
recognizing her record and ability to relate to the American people. If she is
confirmed Sotomayor would be just the third woman to be elevated to the Supreme
Court and would join Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the current bench.
Sotomayor
has been at the center of controversy though as she struck down a
discrimination case brought by white firefighters in Connecticut who sued the city
of New Haven after they threw away the results of a promotion exam because too
few minorities scored high enough on the exam.
The
Senate will now have four months to confirm Sotomayor as the Court won’t begin
its next term until the fall.
