"Judge Sotomayor's confirmation today by the U.S. Senate to be our nation's next Supreme Court justice is a moment of great pride for all Americans. As a Latina and a mother, I can say to my daughter that all dreams are possible," said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the nation's leading Hispanic health advocacy group.

Dr. Delgado said of Judge Sotomayor, "she is a brilliant woman whose experience will serve the nation well in the years ahead. Today's vote will reverberate throughout history as a watershed moment for justice and the promise of the American dream."
