Washington, D.C. - May 26, 2009 -- Today, U.S. Senator Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) made the following comments regarding President Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court of the United States:
“I applaud the nomination of Judge Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Her confirmation would add needed diversity in two ways: the first Hispanic and the third woman to serve on the high court. While her record suggests excellent educational and professional qualifications, now it is up to the Senate to discharge its constitutional duty for a full and fair confirmation process.”
