(10) i am most grateful to this country. i stand here today knowing that my confirmation as an associate justice of the supreme court would never have been possible without the opportunities presented to me by this nation. more than two centuries ago, in a constitution that contains fewer than 5,000 words, our founders set forth their vision for this new land. their self - proclaimed task was to form a more perfect union, to establish justice, and to secure the blessings of liberty for themselves and their posterity. over the years, the ideals at the heart of that document have endured, as subsequent generations have expanded those blessings, these rights and freedoms to more and more americans. (11) our constitution has survived domestic and international tumult, including a civil war, two world wars, and the catastrophe of september 11th. it draws together people of all races, faiths, and backgrounds from all across this country who carry its words and values in our heart. it is this nations faith in a more perfect union that allows a puerto rican girl from the bronx to stand here now.
