The always frank and outspoken vice-president Joe Biden is calling Obama’s decision to nominate Sotomayor to the Supreme Court a homerun. This is what he has to say, “President Obama hit a home run with his nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court — and not just because she’s the “woman who saved baseball” by ending the strike in 1995, nor simply because she would be the first Latina ever to serve on the high court.”
It was a home run because in her three-decade career as a prosecutor, judge, private litigator and law professor, she has time and again earned bipartisan praise as one of America’s finest legal minds. And it was the right choice because Judge Sotomayor — herself born and raised in a South Bronx housing project — has summed up the American dream in her own incredible story and never once forgotten how the law affects our daily lives.
Furthermore, he asks, “pease join me in becoming part of this historic moment for the Court and our country by adding your name now to publicly show that you, too, “Stand with Sotomayor.” In these crucial early hours, let us leave no doubt about the people’s support for this extraordinary nominee.”
