Sonia Sotomayor Swears in Vice President Joe Biden

The first Latina to join the highest court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, administered the oath of office Sunday morning to Vice President Joe Biden, and Biden personally selected Sotomayor to swear him in. “From the first time I met her, I was impressed by Justice Sotomayor’s commitment to justice and opportunity for all Americans, and she continues to exemplify those values today," Biden said after choosing her. "Above all, I’m happy for the chance to be sworn in by a friend – and someone I know will continue to do great things.”
