Abstract

[In 2009, following the announcement of the retirement of Supreme Court Justice David Souter, Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the first Hispanic and third woman in history to be nominated to the Supreme Court of the United States. Despite a strong, impressive track record as a justice and a legal scholar, Sotomayor found herself in a somewhat defensive position against attacks from many in the opposition party. Interestingly, these concerns were not spurred by anything Sotomayor herself had said or done—but rather by a comment from then President Obama that referenced her capacity for “empathy” as being an important and positive quality for the job. As the President noted, “I view that quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with people’s hopes and struggles as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions.”]
