The Next Justice

From Dallas… Farewell day for my family today.
Meanwhile, Judge Sonia Sotomayor gets her day. She’ll be easily confirmed, so it will be interesting to hear where Republicans take their line of questioning. There are several senators to watch today, including Senator Al Franken.
… The Senate Judiciary Committee begins hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Sonia Sotomayor today, but with her installment all but certain, Republicans are unlikely to put the nominee on trial.
“Judge Sotomayor has a very distinguished and very moderate record. The Republican arguments just can’t hold up against it. If they make their claims more than once, they will come across as bullies,” one Democrat close to the White House said.
To add… The only concern I still have is whether Judge Sotomayor is a wall against an increasingly conservative Supreme Court.
