Sotomayor For Supreme Court Photos
In this 1998 photo, Judge Sonia Sotomayor is helped into her robe shortly after she took the oath of office as a justice of the U.S. Court of Appeals at the U.S. Courthouse in New York. President Barack Obama nominated Sotomayor on May 26, 2009, praising her as "an inspiring woman" with both the intellect and compassion to interpret the Constitution wisely. She was confirmed on Aug. 6, 2009.
