Take Action Now:If your senator(s) sits on the Judiciary Committee, call his or her office directly and urge support for Judge Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings to consider the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Sotomayor demonstrated that she is a uniquely well-qualified nominee, with a sharp and independent mind, and a record of excellence and integrity.
The Senate Judiciary Committee could vote as early as this Tuesday, July 28, on Judge Sotomayor's confirmation.
If confirmed, Judge Sotomayor will be the third woman and first-ever Latina confirmed to our nation's highest court. She will bring more federal judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice in 100 years, and more overall judicial experience than anyone confirmed for the Court in the past 70 years. If your senator(s) sits on the Judiciary Committee, call and urge support for this impressive nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
