Sonia Sotomayor (CNS)
The U.S. Senate today confirmed Sonia Sotomayor as the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court, by a vote of 68-31.
Sotomayor’s confirmation increases the number of Catholics to six on the nine-member court.
But unlike the other five Catholic justices — John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito — Sotomayor is expected to be a solidly pro-abortion vote on the court.
