Washington, D.C.— Today, Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) released the following statement in response to the Senate confirmation of Judge Sotomayor as Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court:
“I am extremely pleased to congratulate Judge Sonia Sotomayor on her historic confirmation this afternoon as the first Hispanic American Supreme Court Justice. Judge Sotomayor’s career serving in nearly every aspect of the law offers her a depth of experience and broad range of perspectives that will prove to be invaluable on our nation’s highest court. Her personal story, rising from poverty to become an esteemed judge who has received appointments from Democratic and Republican Presidents alike, is both an inspiration and a testament to the American Dream that is embedded in the fabric of our nation.”
