Sonia Sotomayor: "Ketika saya pertama kali menjadi hakim di pengadilan...

"Ketika saya pertama kali menjadi hakim di pengadilan distrik, saya punya satu pengacara yang datang untuk berdebat di depan saya, dan dia melihat ke samping ketika dia berbicara.

--- Sonia Sotomayor

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I started asking him questions, and all of a sudden he whipped around and looked at me intently. I could see in his eyes that he had finally figured out, "This is no dummy, I'd better pay attention." It is satisfying to see that.
