I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. 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
Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. – Sonia Sotomayor
