U.S. African Chamber of Commerce congratulates U.S. President Barack Obama on nominating a female, Hispanic federal appeals court judge to replace a retiring Supreme Court justice.

Mr. Obama announced the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor Tuesday at the White House. If confirmed, the 54-year-old Sotomayor will be the first Hispanic judge on the nine-member high court.

Sotomayor, who was born in New York to parents from Puerto Rico, would replace Justice David Souter, who is retiring this June after 19 years on the high court.
