Hooray!! Sotomayor has finally been confirmed! Yay for OBAMA!
"The Senate confirmed Sonia Sotomayor Thursday as the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court. The vote was 68-31 for Sotomayor, President Barack Obama's first high court nominee. She becomes the 111th justice and just the third woman to serve.
In the final tally, nine Republicans joined majority Democrats and the Senate's two independents to support Sotomayor's confirmation...Like Democrats, many of them called Sotomayor's background inspirational. The daughter of Puerto Rican parents, she was raised in a South Bronx housing project, then educated in the Ivy League before rising to the highest legal echelons."
