WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) today offered the following statement on President Barack Obama’s nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the next Supreme Court Justice:
“President Obama made an outstanding choice in nominating Sonia Sotomayor as the next Supreme Court Justice,” said DeGette. “As a judge and a former prosecutor and litigator, Judge Sotomayor has gained invaluable experience in complex legal and constitutional issues. Her experience at various levels of our judicial system has provided her with a well-rounded perspective that will benefit the Court. In addition to being nominated to the bench by Republican and Democratic presidents, she has been confirmed by both Republican and Democratically-controlled U.S. Senates. I am confident the U.S. Senate will confirm Judge Sotomayor as the next Supreme Court Justice.”
