(02:24) Rough Cut

Jul. 13 - Judge Sonia Sotomayor described her judicial philosophy to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in the confirmation hearing for her to take a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.

The appointment would make her the court's first Hispanic justice. Sotomayor was nominated by President Barack Obama to replace Justice David Souter, who recently retired. He was among four liberals on the ideologically divided, nine-member court.
