Hooray for Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor!
We’re not just living and breathing TV here in Pasadena at the Television Critics Assn. Summer Press Tour.
Before a panel for the new FOX show Glee began, there was a buzz around the ballroom at The Langham Huntington Hotel that the U.S. Senate had confirmed Sonia Sotomayor as the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice – and only the third woman.
The 55-year-old daughter of Puerto Rican parents has spent the past 17 years as a federal judge. She will be sworn in on Saturday by Chief Justice John Roberts.
The vote was 68-31. Sotomayor does indeed seem qualified for the job so you have to wonder about some of the Republican senators who claimed they had legitimate concerns because of Sotomayor’s supposed “empathy.”
I have to wonder how many of those senators would have supported the ridiculous nomination of Harriet Mier four years ago by President George W. Bush or how many stumped for the clearly unqualified Sarah Palin for VP?
