Young Democrats of America Support President Obama's Nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court

Washington DC - 5/26/09

The Young Democrats of America fully support President Barack Obama's historic nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court of the United States. Nominated by President Bill Clinton, Sotomayor currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. If approved by the Senate, Sotomayor, 54, would take the place of retiring Justice David Souter.

The Young Democrats of America’s own Democratic National Committeeman, Francisco Domenech of Puerto Rico, was among the first to express his gratitude and praise at the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor. "As a fellow Latino and Puerto Rican, much like President Obama's election, Judge Sotomayor's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court is proof that the American Dream is within our reach. It is up to us to grab it"
