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.

When they got to Jane Fonda I had to spit, then felt nauseous. Spoon not required.
Sotomayor votes entirely on her own personal biases, prejudices and opinions. How unethical. You know she was asked marshmallow questions in her hearings, unlike any GOP nominee. A vindictive and stupid woman.
Even Lawrence Tribe thinks she’s an ignoramus!
Why do women always get awards for doing stuff that men simply do?
Gloria Allred is the best female lawyer they could have found?
Sure wouldn’t want to be inducted in a group of females such as these........ :-(
Int Womens Day is a Communist holiday dating back to Lenin. Only Commies need apply.
and Angela Davis
and Angela Davis

I was nauseous already. Gimme a break, please.
How she got off the conspiracy to knowingly participate in planning a murder, I’ll never know. What good is a law they won’t enforce?
An achievement in stupidity.
Phyllis Schlafly is the lawyer they should have honored. She pulled off one of the biggest political upsets of all time in stopping the ERA. She had a better education than the gals they were honoring and still managed to have six children. So they ignore real accomplished women like Phyllis and brave women like Pamela Geller. The Left is so parochial.
OMG this kitty has grumpy cat beaten, hands down!!! What a GREAT pic!!!
same as bill ayers and bernadette dolan
The first two on the list are vile enough we can guess about the rest of them.
There isn’t a National Men’s Hall of Fame. Where’s the equality?
