Sonia Sotomayor is the first Latina Puerto Rican to be considered for the US Supreme Court. And there’s so much controversy because shes a woman and she is Latina. I personally think that its an achievement to Latinos, because I am Latina, and usually when people talk about educated Latinos, most of the time they are referring to other ethnic groups, like it leans more to the South American Latin cultures. I think it’s great that a Puerto Rican woman has been able to achieve a Yale title and a Princeton title because I’m Dominican and Pueto Rican and nobody that I know has gotten that far, so to look at that, it just makes me realize that there’s inspiration out there, and not only blacks and whites are well-educated. Because she’s the first Latina and a woman, her opponents are trying to bring her down with facts from before, and trying to find any little thing to bring media attention to it so she could have a less chance of getting in to the US Supreme Court. I really hope she gets in, because if they don’t select her after the questionnaire, my vision is that they would have a lot of people protesting, and they would lose Latinos in the Republican party.
