For Latino Activists, Sotomayor Confirmation Is Emotional Moment - washingtonpost.com: At a 'vote watch' party held by Latino activists at a hotel bar a few blocks from the Capitol, news of the final Senate tally clinching Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation to the Supreme Court set off whoops and cheers, followed by sustained chants of 'Si, se puede! Si, se puede!' and 'Sonia! Sonia!'
"It's something you cannot even explain -- how proud and how emotional a moment this is for us," said Vanny Marrero, 72, a retired government human resources worker from Northern Virginia who belongs to the National Conference of Puerto Rican Women.
