I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals, businesses and government. – Sonia Sotomayor
All of the legal defense funds out there, theyre looking for people out there with court of appeals experience, because court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know, I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we dont make law, I know. I know. – Sonia Sotomayor
My hope is that I will take the good from my experiences and extrapolate them further into areas with which I am unfamiliar. I simply do not know exactly what that difference will be in my judging. But I accept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage. – Sonia Sotomayor
I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasnt lived that life. – Sonia Sotomayor
