Sotomayor to take oath, will you watch?

Personally, I will.

I am super thrilled not only is she only the third woman EVER to take this Oath but, the first hispanic. And this will be televised as she takes the oath twice.

a small snippet from the article

"Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in Sotomayor twice at the Supreme Court. The first ceremony will be private. A second ceremony will be held in front of Sotomayor's friends and family as well as the media.

It will also mark the first time the oath-taking ceremony will be open to television cameras in the court's history.

Sotomayor, a 55-year-old federal appeals court judge, was confirmed Thursday in a 68-31 vote. Nine Republicans joined a unanimous Democratic caucus in supporting her nomination. The only senator who was not present for the vote was Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, because of illness, but he has supported Sotomayor in the past."

YES I will have my sons watch and they will not miss any school. Another thing did you know the First Bush appointed her as a district judge? Later Pres Clinton appointed her to the Circuit Court of Appeals.

Another point, twenty years after the confirmation of Clarence Thomas; We the People have an 'African-American' President. So hopefully, in my lifetime there will be a woman president.

BETTER YET, perhaps before I become worm food: socio-economic status, race, gender, political party, religious identity, sexual orientation will no longer be a sticking point for discussion about an individual's talent and abilities.

WELCOME ABOARD, HONORABLE SOTOMAYOR!
