There's never been a Hispanic American on the Supreme Court in more than 200-year history of our country.

We feel that with a new perspective on that court, that the arguments that could be made by and between the judges that have to make them in order to arrive at a decision that will impact upon the 250 million Americans that have to follow the Supreme Court's law, that Hispanics can greatly contribute to the development of that new law, and then the administration of justice.

The president was asked specifically, he was told the very many reasons why it was in the best interest, not only of the Hispanic community, but also of the entire nation, that the next Supreme Court Justice be a Hispanic American.

It was given many reasons, including the unique perspective and sensitivity that the Hispanic American would bring that no other person could bring to the court, given the fact that the Hispanic community is a multiracial, multicultural community and can serve to develop the law and minister justice and that it could serve to build bridges among the and between the different sectors in American society, unlike anyone has ever done before.
