"It's an incredible honor to have Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor swear me in, Biden said is a statement. I believed strongly that she would make a great Justice, and it was one of the greatest pleasures of my career to be involved in her selection to the Court.
Im happy for the chance to be sworn in by a friend and someone I know will continue to do great things, he added.
