We already knew that the confirmation of Judge Sonia Sotomayor would be historic, but I love hearing it articulated by the women we helped elect to the Senate.
Tonight HBO will premiere a new documentary about one of the greatest icons in feminist history, Gloria Steinem. Gloria was interviewed last week by the Daily Beast:
With a committee vote scheduled for tomorrow, the confirmation of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court appears to be full-speed ahead -- even if some Republicans on the Judiciary Committee might not be quick to agree.
After speculation, questioning, and Senate votes, Justice Sonia Sotomayor has officially taken her seat on the United States Supreme Court -- the first Latina and third woman to serve in that role. And we couldn't be more excited to see her there.
This paragraph from today's L.A. Timesarticle about Sen. John McCain's decision not to back Judge Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court leaves me stumped:
Today, Senators Barbara Boxer (CA), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), and Amy Klobuchar (MN) offered their support for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, highlighting the importance of having another woman's voice on the highest court in the land.
The committee hearings for President Obama's first Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, continue today. If confirmed, Sotomayor would be the first Latina to serve on the court.
We're always thrilled to see women trailblazers make history - and we hope this week will be no exception. If confirmed by the Senate, Sonia Sotomayor is poised to make history, becoming the third woman and first Latina ever to serve on the court.
