Here is video from this morning of Sen. Jeff Sessions grilling Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor on the second day of her confirmation hearing.
Sessions held nothing back, pointedly challenging Sotomayor on her "wise Latina" remark, as well as her ruling on a lower court in favor of the city of New Haven, Connecticut against white firefighters who were discriminated against in a test for promotions (Ricci Case). Sessions would not let Sotomayor off the hook, eventually getting her to admit that her "wise Latina" remark was "a bad word choice." . . . . (Watch Video)

A “bad word choice??” Oh for God’s sake. It was pure out and out racism and leftist lunacy, not a bad word choice.
Stating what was in her heart and mind is a “bad word choice” how about a “bad choice” overall
Senator Sessions set the record straight on this nominee.
She can spin, deny, and lie all she wants.
Her words are there for all to hear.
Sure it’s “pure out and out racism and lunacy” but the sad part is that 60 Democrat senators agree with everything she said. That’s all that matters...
being from Alabama he clearly knows how to barbecue
They lost elections. Thank your neighbor.
As an Alabamian, I’m proud to claim Sen. Sessions as one of ours. He lives our state motto “ We dare defend our rights”.
DITTO! Jeff Sessions is the real thing.
Audemus jura nostra defendere
Outstanding line of questioning by Senator Sessions. Let’s hope his colleagues on this committee follow-up as forcefully.
