Judge Sonia Sotomayor: Another step towards a more perfect Union

With President Obama's nomination of Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, America continues its' march towards a more perfect Union.  It is hard to believe that once confirmed Judge Sotomayor will be only the third woman ever seated at the highest court in the land.

fyi- there have been 110 Supreme Court Justices

As has been well documented over the last few days, Judge Sotomayor is a shining example of the best of America.  She is a true embodiment of the American experiment: work hard, get a good education and only be limited by one's abilities.  

For a Puerto Rican girl from a housing project in the South Bronx to graduate from Princeton then Yale Law, experience a meteoric rise as a judge through the federal court system and now knocking on the door of the highest court in the land...if these are not the credentials of an American hero, I don't know what qualifies.

(definition)  hero- a person who is regarded as a model or ideal
