BREAKING NEWS:Sonia Sotomayor named next Supreme Court Justice

 

Sonia Sotomayor has been named the next Supreme Court Justice by President Obama. She will be the 1st Hispanic and the 3rd Female. The GOP wants to scrutinize her for a ruling on denying promotions for white firefighters and instead giving them to black firefighters. She will be generally on the liberal wing of the court since she will be replacing a liberal judge but is considered more of a centrist since she has been considered as a judge by Republicans and Democrats as well. She has worked with Presidents George HW Bush and Bill Clinton as a judge. Democrats suggested Sotomayor in 2005 when President George W Bush was looking to replace Sandra Day O’Connor,which eventually went to Samuel Alito.
