Sonia Sotomayor is congratulated at the federal courthouse in New York after being confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court by the Senate on Thursday.

"The Senate, in a vote laden with history and partisanship, confirmed Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday as the 111th justice and the first Hispanic to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court." http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/aug/07/sotomayor-confirmed/
