H1

1) Sonia Sotomayor is the first Hispanic justice and third female justice to serve on the US Supreme Court.
2) She is very liberal in her rulings and stands up for inequality in the court system. (While cross-examining the defendant, who was implicated in a drug deal but said he didn't know that that's what was going to happen in his friends' hotel, the prosecutor said: "You've got African-Americans, you've got Hispanics, you've got a bag full of money. Does that tell you--a light bulb doesn't go off in your head and say, 'This is a drug deal?'")
3) Sonia takes cases involving minorities, like the case of the Voting Rights Act.
