U.S. Senator Al Franken, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, met with Judge Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday, July 9.
He released the following statement:
“Choosing a Supreme Court Justice is one of the most important decisions a United States Senator will make and I’m thrilled to be a member of the Senate in time to participate in the confirmation process. Judge Sotomayor will be the most experienced appointee in 75 years, and has a great life story. I’m glad to have had the chance to meet with her this afternoon, and I look forward to carefully considering her next week during the hearing.
“The current Supreme Court has been sliding back on the rights of Americans as employees, as parents, as consumers, and as investors, and it is critical that the next appointee understand the importance of these protections.”
