I think that being nominated is awsome and scary.Sonia Sotemyer has made it.She was everything a judge can be. I hope that she stays in the Supreme Court Justice for a long time.

[giovanna]

[nylah]

I think that obama made a great choose to pick her because she had alot of great things in her life that made her so great.she had so much things that he could have picked her a million reasons but he did it for all of the reason that is in the little story!!

[Jacqueline]

I think the Supreme Court judge should be comited to his/her job.The judge should listen to other peoples`side of a case before he/she makes any decions.The judge should be fair so that he/she picks the person she likes best,but the one who is telling the truth.The judge should always look at someones` record to see if they have done any thing wrong in the past.The judge should always be ready to deal with a case.The judge should share his/her feelings about the case,to show he/she is paying attention.

Judge Sonia Sotomayer has worked hard to overcome difficult beginings and I'm interested in her story and will be watching what happens with her nomination. She certainly has determination!!

[LITA]

WONDERFUL. THIS IS AN INSPIRATION FOR MANY IMMIGRANTS AND LATINOS. IT'S A WAY TO SHOW THAT ALL DREAMS CAN COME TRUE.

[Tyrese W.]

Obama urged the senate to Quickly confirm sotomayor to the Court. I think this because the nominee becomes the Sepreme Court Justice
if a Majority of Senates vote for that nominee. That's my Quality of picking sotomayor as a new member of the Sepreme Court Justice.

[Vanessa]

A US Supreme Court Justice must be empathetic and adaptable. Our society is constantly changing and a judge must be knowledgeable of these changes. Furthermore, he/she can't let their personal opinions interfer with their judgement.

[Sara]

I think it's important that a justice be honest and have a good reputation.

[J.P]

I think Obama made a good decision because her mom was good, so she might be good too. She will need a good attitude, respect people and have a good job. She should be not really strict and she needs to listen to the people who are talking.

[Charlie]

Some quealeties that I think a suprem court person should have is ... well you should be very very very smart because if you are not, you would be in HUGE trobale!!! And you should also be calm too because if you are not people could get very I don't know, Impacint, mad, and, very very upset!

[cheesey boy]

I think the qualites that they should have is they should have a good heart and a truthful mind because with those things they can get every one to help them with what ever they need.

[Luke]

I think that she is a wonderful choice for the Supreme Court!

[Aylin]

I think it's great for her to be elected as a supreme court justicer.
