Hutchison will vote ‘nay’ on Sotomayor

WASHINGTON — Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison announced Tuesday that she would oppose confirmation for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor after the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to send the jurist’s nomination to the full Senate for confirmation next week.

Hutchison, who had opposed Sotomayor’s elevation to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1998, said the New York judge’s position on the Second Amendment raised the possibility that she might not support an individual right to bear arms .

The senator also expressed concern about Sotomayor’s statement at a Duke University law school forum four years ago that legal “policy” was made by federal appeals courts.

“I believe judges should interpret the law, not make it,” Hutchison said in a statement issued late Tuesday.

Thank you very much for remembering my post. I stand corrected! I am glad she will oppose Sotomayor. Also, saw a story today that she replaced her campaign manager. She wants to be gov, but I don’t think she has the support. On July 16th Rassmusen polls indicated she was 10 points behind Perry, so maybe she saw the writing on the wall and decided to give it one last try with a new manager.
