On Monday, July 13, at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin hearings to consider Judge Sonia Sotomayor to fill the seat of retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter. If confirmed, Sotomayor will be the third woman confirmed to our nation's highest court. She is the first-ever Latina nominated for this honor.
Judge Sotomayor will likely make her opening statement at around 2:00 p.m. ET on Monday, so tune in to watch and support her as she presents her qualifications to the country.
Invite your colleagues, friends, and family to join you to witness this extraordinary moment – on television or online. This is an event not to be missed!
The hearings will be broadcast live on C-SPAN and PBS. You can also watch live streaming video of the hearings online at PBS.org/newshour or C-SPAN.org. The hearings will continue through the week.
