Dear [Insert Your Senator's Name]:

President Obama made an inspired choice in his nomination of the Honorable Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court.

Judge Sotomayor's personal and professional experiences make her uniquely sensitive and qualified to address the concerns of all Americans.

Raised by a widowed mother in a Bronx housing project, she worked hard to graduate summa cum laude from Princeton and to become an editor of the Yale Law Journal. Upon graduation she went to work as an Assistant Manhattan District Attorney under the legendary Robert Morgenthau, prosecuting criminal defendants. She later became a partner at the international firm of Pavia & Harcourt

Judge Sotomayor's legal career has included not only criminal prosecution and commercial litigation, but also academia and appointment to the federal bench at the age of thirty-eight. For the past ten years, her intellect, integrity, and consensus-building have made  her a highly respected jurist on the Second Circuit. This followed a distinguished career as a federal trial judge, during which Judge Sotomayor's pragmatism and resolve brought the national baseball strike to an end that satisfied all parties. She then taught for over nine years at the New York  University School of Law and at Columbia Law School and has been a mentor to hundreds of attorneys and students as a member of the Puerto Rican and the Hispanic National Bar Associations. This wealth of experience has impressed upon her both the law's potential, as well as its limits.

Since her nomination was announced, praise has been deafening. At the same time, however, predictable but unfounded pronouncements from the radical right are unfairly attempting to tarnish Judge Sotomayor's reputation.

The Senate has a duty to hold thorough and fair confirmation hearings, which I expect. The American people are watching carefully to ensure that, in Senator McConnell's words, the Senate treats Judge Sotomayor fairly.

President Obama was correct in noting  that of all the candidates for the Supreme Court, Judge Sotomayor was the one who possessed the consummate legal skills combined with a wide-ranging personal and professional background. Judge Sotomayor is the best choice for our country's next Supreme Court Justice. I hope and trust that you will enthusiastically support her nomination.


Sincerely,
[Insert name and signature]
