"I don't think the Constitution is studied almost anywhere, including law schools. In law schools, what they study is what the court said about the Constitution. They study the opinions. They don't study the Constitution itself."

Sonia Sotomayor
"I was raised in a Bronx public housing project, but studied at two of the nation's finest universities. I did work as an assistant district attorney, prosecuting violent crimes that devastate our communities."

Work

Sonia Sotomayor
"It's not the heart that compels conclusions in cases, it's the law."

Heart

Quote_1.png
Sonia Sotomayor

And that's been shown by statistics, there are reasons for that - there are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action to try to balance out those effects."

Achievement

Sonia Sotomayor
"Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging."
