Nadler Welcomes Sotomayor Nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court

Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, commended President Obama for his choice of Judge Sonia Sotomayor as nominee to the United States Supreme Court.

"By all accounts, Judge Sotomayor is an exceptional choice for Supreme Court justice," said Rep. Nadler. "Those who know her enthusiastically cite her broad intellect, her even-handedness as a federal judge, and her extensive and varied experience on the bench. And to be sure, Sotomayor's nomination is an historic affirmation of the pluralistic and democratic America that we so deeply need, an America which is, thankfully, becoming more and more evident in public life every day. I congratulate Judge Sotomayor for this great honor and, along with my colleagues and fellow Americans, I look forward to getting to know her better in the days to come."
