"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Judge Sonia Sotomayor....2001


"I'm sure she would have restated it but if you look at the entire sweep of the essay she wrote what's clear is that she was simply saying that her life experiences will give her information about the struggles and hardships that people are going through, that will make her a good judge."

President Barack Obama....2009
