Sotomayor's Confirmation Fiesta!

Today is the big day! The U.S. Senate is projected to take up the full vote on Sotomayor's Nomination around 3 p.m. There are plenty of Latino and non-Latinos gatherings throughout the country celebrating this historical event; in Chicago, NYC, LA, San Francisco, Houston, Miami, Washington, DC., and more. It’s time to CELEBRATE the Bronx, our community, and America!


So far, support is been divided among partisan lines (As expected, those GOP no nos quieren...). Except 8 GOP Senators have come out publicly to show support for her nomination (You should remember them next time you go to the Polls).
