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

I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences. – Sonia Sotomayor
