Dear Janette,
 |
Today, by a 68 – 31 vote, the
U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted to confirm Judge Sonia
Sotomayor as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court!
I couldn't be more thrilled that this talented and experienced
judge will be joining the highest court in the land. She will be
an amazing asset to our country on the Supreme Court.
This is a time to celebrate. I hope you'll join me in
congratulating Justice Sotomayor right now.
Sign our online congratulations card for Justice
Sonia Sotomayor right now — and offer your own personal
best wishes as well!
When Justice David Souter first announced that he
would be retiring, I urged President Obama to nominate a
well-qualified woman to ensure that the Court more accurately
reflects the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives in
America.
I think you'll agree: President Obama responded by
making an excellent choice with Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Throughout Justice Sotomayor's confirmation hearings, I
was impressed by her poise, her thoughtful responses, and the
depth of experience she will bring to bear on critical
constitutional questions. Those are exactly the
qualities we need in our Supreme Court Justices.

Sonia Sotomayor right now — and offer your own personal
best wishes as well!
Justice Sotomayor's story is quintessentially
American. From the Bronx, to Princeton, to the Supreme Court,
she has worked hard, honored the law, and succeeded. She
is an example for all Americans of what each and every one of us
can strive to be.
When Justice Sotomayor takes her place on the Supreme
Court, I want her to know that our best wishes go with her.
I want her to know that, even in the most difficult of cases, we
stand behind her — and thank her for her clarity of
judgment and fidelity to the law.
Help me send that message.
Please sign our online card for Justice Sonia
Sotomayor now!
In Friendship,
Barbara Boxer
U.S. Senator
P.S. We'll be delivering our card to Justice Sotomayor's new
office at the Supreme Court next week, so make sure your
signature — and your own personal comments — are on
it. We'll also be posting some of the comments on our new Boxer
Blog. So please sign our online congratulations card
for Justice Sonia Sotomayor right now — and offer your own
personal best wishes as well!
