Encourage Your Senators to Support Judge Sotomayor
During the Judiciary Committee hearings, Judge Sotomayor expressed strong support for the constitutional right to privacy -- which is important since the current Supreme Court is divided over the issues decided in Roe v. Wade. She also noted several times that the right to privacy includes a woman's right to choose.
Judge Sotomayor's record and responses during the hearings signal that she understands how the court's decisions affect individuals' everyday lives. In addition, she has received significant and strong support from committed pro-choice allies in the Senate -- as well as President Obama.
We need your help to encourage the Senate to confirm President Obama's nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Urgent: The vote is scheduled for next week. Send a message to your senators today!
Dear Senator [Name],
Judge Sotomayor demonstrated during the Judiciary Committee hearings that she has a solid command of the law, adding to her distinguished record of professional accomplishments as a judge, prosecutor and community leader. Her qualifications are bolstered by the strong support she receives from her peers and other legal scholars.
The Senate has confirmed her twice for federal judgeships, and I urge you to confirm her nomination to the Supreme Court.
