Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Friday was inducted in the annual National Women’s Hall of Fame. She was nominated in 2009 by President Barack Obama and made history when she was confirmed as the Court's first Hispanic justice. Sotomayor has consistently sided with the Court's liberal decisions, The Hill reported.
Other 2019 National Women's Hall of Fame inductees included:
• Actress Jane Fonda
• Civil rights activist Angela Davis
• Native American lawyer Sarah Deer
• Retired Air Force fighter pilot Nicole Malachowski
• The late suffragist and cartoonist Rose O’Neill
• New York Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (D), who died last year
• Composer Laurie Spiegel
• AIDS researcher Flossie Wong-Staal
• Attorney Gloria Allred
All inductees are nominated by the general public. Experts in an array of fields judge the nominees and ultimately make their pick.
“We are pleased to add these American women to the ranks of inductees whose leadership and achievements have changed the course of American history,” hall of fame President Betty Bayer said during the ceremony on Friday.
The formal induction will take place in September, just outside of Seneca Falls, New York. The city is believed to the the birthplace of the women's rights movement. So far, 276 women have been inducted into the hall of fame since 1970., not including the 2019 inductees. Other inductees include suffragist Susan B. Anthony to celebrity chef Julia Child, Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial designer Maya Lin, singer Ella Fitzgerald and former senator and secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Associated Press reported.
And then at the end of it, Gloria All Red.
What are the categories for qualification?
I nominate Gene Kirkpatrick, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth II, Roseanne Barr/Arnold, and Harriet Jacobs (Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl; long dead). And of course my wife.
And let’s not leave out Melania Trump and Ivanka Kushner.
Jane Fonda, Angela Davis, Gloria Allred... GMAFB!
Phyllis Schafly is the true heroine. Married mother of six who got her law degree late in life - I think she was offered admission to Harvard Law before marrying and starting her family, which would have made her the first woman there - and then almost singlehandedly defeated the ERA when Congress and a bunch of states were for it. Brava Phyllis!
But she is against the orthodoxy so TPTB have to ignore her.
Come to think of it... aren’t these hyphenated Americans supposed to represeant their particular interest group? Such as Holder said we have to watch out for “our people” meaning drop charges already convicted for Black Panthers intimidating voters. Well what about the wise Latina representing traditional values of hispanic/latino(a)s? They are Christian, Catholic, believe in traditional family and values. Are loyal to country (large percentage in US armed services). They are hard workers and like to hold jobs to support their families. Many who come to USA to work send their entire earnings back home to Mehico. So is Ms. Soto really representing her constituency or not??
She later added that she's going to take that home and do some house cleaning with it.
You forgot the Barf Alert in the title.
Liberal sham ‘award’. They can’t get enough of patting each other on the back.
I remember Ann Coulter calling Schlafley a ‘stunningly brilliant woman’. Very fitting words.
When is international men’s day?
JoMa
You’d have a lot of winners.
Most Well Hung: Will blacks dominate?
Gutsiest: Donald Trump would win for the next five years.
Inventors: Will Jooos! and Germans routinely vie for the title?
Most Effective Leader: Dems will be shut out, except in the back-stabbing and conniving subcategories.
Biggest heart throb: Not me.
