WASHINGTON – Sonia Sotomayor became the Supreme Court's newest justice Saturday, pledging during a brief ceremony at the high court to defend the Constitution and administer impartial justice.
Sotomayor, 55, is the first Hispanic justice and only the third woman in the court's 220-year history.

The nice thing about confirmations is that once they are done, they are done.
Republicans and Democrats can fight like cats and dogs. The citizenry can rage. Talk show hosts can rant. Pundits can make puns. Speculators can speculate. Bloggers can blog.
But when it it done, we have to move on.
It is one less issue about which we may fight.
That is always a relief to the rest of us.
Congratulations to Justice Sotomayor. May she now be released to become a full time legal scholar and join her fellow justices in conscientiously examining the cases brought before her bench and adjudicating them with deep reverence for and deference to the Constitution.
There is a genius to our system and all sides can join together in celebrating that.
