Sonia Sotomayor has been named the next Supreme Court Justice by President Obama. She will be the 1st Hispanic and the 3rd Female. The GOP wants to scrutinize her for a ruling on denying promotions for white firefighters and instead giving them to black firefighters. She will be generally on the liberal wing of the court since she will be replacing a liberal judge but is considered more of a centrist since she has been considered as a judge by Republicans and Democrats as well. She has worked with Presidents George HW Bush and Bill Clinton as a judge. Democrats suggested Sotomayor in 2005 when President George W Bush was looking to replace Sandra Day O’Connor,which eventually went to Samuel Alito.
