Read the excerpt from "A Latina Judge’s Voice” by Sonia Sotomayor.

In at least the last five years the majority of nominated judges the Senate delayed more than one year before confirming or never confirming were women or minorities. I need not remind this audience that Judge Paez of your home Circuit, the Ninth Circuit, has had the dubious distinction of having had his confirmation delayed the longest in Senate history.

What is emphasized by the alliteration in this excerpt?

the importance of confirming judges quickly
the fact that the longest confirmation delay involved a minority
the fact that many minority judges are never confirmed
the inability of legislators to work efficiently
