Article II, Executive Branch, Section 2
"He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the senate to...appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States"

       Sonia Sotomayor will be making history as the first Latina on the U.S Supreme Court. She was Barack Obama's first nominee and was approved by a 68-31 Senate vote, in which nine republicans crossed party lines to vote for her.
       This article demonstrates Article II, Executive Branch, Section 2 because it shows the president, Barack Obama, appointing, with the consent of the senate, a judge of the Supreme Court. What makes this article even more interesting is that history is being made. Sotomayor is the first Hispanic person to be a Supreme Court judge. She is not the first Hispanic woman, but the first Hispanic person.
       I think this is really remarkable how the first Hispanic to ever be a Supreme Court judge is a woman. It makes me question why this hasn't happened sooner. Why did it take so long for a Hispanic person to be appointed to the Supreme Court? Im sure she wasn't the FIRST person to be qualified and fit for the job? However those questions dont matter as much now because there is finally a Hispanic person, and to make it even more historical, a woman, on The Supreme Court. I hope she does an excellent job.
