In Shelby's post about Sonia Sotomayor being sworn in as associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Though I may be completely wrong, I feel as though President Obama not only nominated Sotomayor for her qualifications, as Shelby stated, but more because she is a Hispanic.
Obama has faced struggles in becoming the nation's first black president, and I couldn't blame him if he was working towards forming a more culturally diverse government.
Shelby discussed how Sotomayor's background, especially her upbringing, will help her to better understand different issues such as segregation and poverty. I completely agree with this opinion because Sotomayor has lived it, therefore she understands it.
