Many parents believe that their children must be kept in an environment that is as clean as possible, but some research suggests that being exposed to what many would call unclean conditions is good for a child's immune system.
Sonia Maria Sotomayor (/ËsoÊnjÉ ËsoÊtÉËmaÉªÉr/, Spanish:; born June 25, 1954) is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, serving since August 2009.
The court's first female justice, Sandra Day O'Connor, was nominated by a Republican president in 1981 and was regarded as a conservative pick. The second female justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was the choice of a Democratic president in 1993 and widely viewed as liberal. The two women served together until O'Connor's retirement in 2005. Ginsburg remained as the lone female justice on the Supreme Court until Sonia Sotomayor took the bench in the fall of 2009.
