Latinos rejoice in Sotomayor nomination

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/26/sotomayor.latino/ (CNN) -- Cecilia Lopez, a student who is the first person from her family to go to college, sees something of herself in the first Hispanic woman to be nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court.

This gives me chills (in a good way). The NYT article on her has more meat, but this one provides nice insight into how important this is for women and Latinos/as all over the country. I'll be holding my breath for her confirmation...

I think she is amazing, but I worry about the ruling where she upheld the "Mexico City policy" allowing the government to deny aid to foreign organizations which have abortions as part of their family planning methods.

Good point. That policy was the worst. Hmm, we'll have to wait and see...
