68-31 MAKES HERSTORY


68-31
and that's not a basketball score. It is Herstory in the making. Finally Judge Sonia Sotomayor has been confirmed to the Supreme Court. Ground breaking in several ways: First Latina, third woman to the bench. Turned out the "Wise Latina" was right, her hard work, discipline, and willingness to keep her dream alive, paid off. Despite a reticent GOP that tried relentlessly to throw stones her way, Judge Sotomayor has been confirmed today August 6, 2009 to the bench as the 111th Justice. Despite lately accomplishments by minorities (Obama and now Sotomayor) much has to be done in this country to balance things off, however, for now on little girls in America can look up to Sotomayor and believe that, just as more than 40 years ago activist Dolores Huerta said: YES WE CAN. Congratulations Judge Sotomayor!
