Appointments to the Supreme Court by President Obama

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both option A (Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan) and option C (first Hispanic on the Court) are true. These appointments did not strengthen the conservative movement of the Court, as both Sotomayor and Kagan are generally considered to be more liberal in their judicial philosophies. Additionally, while these appointments did not completely change the philosophical composition of the Court, they did shift it slightly in a more liberal direction.
