Friday Funday: Justice Sotomayor!

Congratulations to Sonia Sotomayor on her Senate confirmation as the newest US Supreme Court justice!

After a contentious hearing, it was smooth sailing through the floor vote. The Senate approved her nomination 68-31, and Sotomayor will be sworn in Saturday. She'll have her hands full right off the bat - in a few weeks, the court will begin selecting cases for the new term.

We are confident she will bring much-needed balance to the court, and wish her the best of luck for a long career on the SCOTUS bench.

Have a great weekend and catch you next week!
