U.S. Supreme Court set to have first Latina justice
"She grew up in a single parent family among the burned out tenements of one of New York’s toughest district.
Now Sonia Sotomayor, who was raised by Puerto Rican immigrants on a Bronx housing project, is set to make history after being tipped to become the US Supreme Court’s first Latina justice.
Mrs Sotomayor, 59, is thought to be the preferred choice of President Barack Obama to replace Justice David Souter, who announced his resignation from America’s highest court on Friday."
