Confirm Judge Sotomayor

Statement by AFSCME President Gerald McEntee

Washington, D.C. — 

The Senate hearings have shown Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be exactly the kind of experienced, capable and fair jurist the working men and women of this nation need on the Supreme Court.

It is clear from the Senate hearings that Judge Sotomayor will use her experience, skills and judgment to defend the Constitution, protect the rights of all Americans and uphold the law.

The Senate should promptly confirm Judge Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.
