President Obama nominated Judge Sonia Sotomayor during a press conference on Tuesday. Supporters argue Sotomayor would bring a much-needed perspective from a population that is increasingly becoming the face of America in many cities and neighborhoods, including the candidate’s own hometown of the Bronx.
Sotomayor serves on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York and is a member of the Puerto Rican Bar Association. Another Latino, Justice Carlos R. Moreno from California, was also considered.
