We did it!!
Congratulations!
History was made today as the Senate overwhelmingly voted to confirm (soon-to-be) Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on largely party line vote 68 to 31 , with nine Republicans voting for confirmation. Her official swearing in as a Supreme Court justice will probably be held sometime next week.
Listen to remarks by President Obama from the White House after the Senate vote:
Today proves that diversity is not just a slogun used in the presidential campaign to get votes, the President believes that the full inclusion of all Americans throughout government is the best way to assure equity and equality for all citizens, especially minority populations long since shut out of the political process.
Hear the reactions of Hispanics nationwide after the historic vote.
Amen.
