Another 1st For Sotomayor And Latinos Everywhere
As seen on http://www.hluizpresents.com
Not only is Bronx-born Judge Sonia Sotomayor the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice (and one of only 3 women), this also marks the first time that the "oath" was allowed to be televised. 
Chief Justice (the Head Honcho) John Roberts administered the 62-word oath required of all federal judges. In a private ceremony just moments before, Sotomayor took a separate, constitutional oath across the hall becoming the 111th Supreme Court Justice. Both oaths are necessary for her to assume her new duties.
Her mother, Celina, held a ceremonial Bible as Sonia Sotomayor waved to relatives and guests. Juan Sotomayor was also there beaming with Pride at his sister's accomplishments!
In case you missed it last month, watch on as our Sister takes her Oath and celebrate in her historical feat by clicking here:
