On June 10, 2009, ACS hosted a panel discussion on the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court. Panelists from a variety of perspectives examined a range of questions about her nomination, such as: What qualifications and experience would Judge Sotomayor bring to the Court? What does Judge Sotomayor’s record tell us about what kind of Justice she might be? What can we expect from the confirmation process going forward? Finally, how should we expect a justice to apply the principles in our Constitution to today’s cases and controversies?

The panel featured:

• Wade Henderson, President and CEO, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights
• Cristina Rodríguez, Professor of Law, New York University School of Law
• M. Edward Whelan III, President, Ethics and Public Policy Center
• Moderator, Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Editor, Slate.com
