This interview with Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye was published on the site of New America Media (NAM). Cantil-Sakauye marked her first 100 days in office just last April.
After her historic nomination by former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, an overwhelming number of Californians voted for Cantil-Sakauye, who became the first Asian, the first Filipino, only the second woman, and one of the youngest to hold the position.
In her first in-depth televised interview since she took office, Cantil-Sakauye discusses with NAM anchor Odette Keeley the critical role of diversity on the bench and the next big case to go before the court this September: “Prop 8,” the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage.
