I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals, businesses and government. – Sonia Sotomayor
I hope that as the Senate and American people learn more about me, they will see that I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences. – 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
