It’s all over but the crying. There’s no way she doesn’t get in. Not when they have 60 votes.
She would fit right into the United States Senate then!!!!!!!
The linked source, title and content doesn’t line up with what you have posted in the main article section of this thread. Do you have a working link for the story?
Are the Republicans going to find their spines to object?
If BO nominated Hugo Chavez, the GOP would rumble a little and then confirm his nomination.
Not one patriot in the Senate!

Leahy, Sessions Announce Witness List For Sotomayor Hearing

Sessions "Flabbergasted" by Sotomayor's Philosophy
Excerpt:
Republican Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama said today that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's judicial philosophy, as articulated in her speeches, marks "a blow, I think, at the very ideal of American justice."
"In a number of her speeches, for example, she has advocated a view that suggests that your personal experiences, even prejudices — she uses that word — it's expected that they would influence a decision you make," he told "Face The Nation" host Bob Schieffer.

"When you show empathy for one party, Bob, you necessarily show a bias against another group."

Sonia Sotomayor cramming in practice sessions near the West Wing
Excerpt:
These days, federal appeals court Judge Sonia Sotomayor is not in her New York chambers. She's not weighing cases or interrogating counsel or even writing opinions.
Instead, with hearings to start Monday in the historic, much-anticipated Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation process, Sotomayor is holed up in a small office in the Eisenhower Old Executive Office Building next to the White House. "She's got to hit the books," said Thomas Goldstein, a D.C. appellate attorney. "They can ask you about any part of the law. And she's got to be ready for that."
In an earlier round of get-acquainted-sessions, Sotomayor met with 70 of the Senate's 100 ......members, which should help the cordiality quotient. And the newest senator, Minnesota's Al Franken, has already tipped his hand that he plans to ask her about campaign finance laws, expected to come before the court this session.
Has it started yet? I don’t find it on any of the cable news channels nor on either C-SPAN channel.
All the key board pounding, wailing, and gnashing of teeth is not going to change the outcome nor serve as a satisfactory catharsis.
I, for one, am going to engage in productive endeavor and ignore the hearings.
Well, Karl Rove just told Megyn that the Repubs have to vote for her or they will be targeted by the Dems in the future as voting against a Hispanic. But it’s okay that Barry wanted to filibuster Alito.
Everyone ready for another big con job?
I see Mr. Communist is speaking now.
YEEESSSSSSS!
Sessions certainly ripped her a new one. Now let the whitewash from the Dems begin.
Hatch, first sellout?????
Dick...
Sotomayor screwed Ricci firefighters then tried to bury that racist decision. Thank God she failed. She’s part of Obama’s stealth tribalism attempt to take over America
What Judge Sotomayar doesn’t understand is America is not a foreign court.
It’s very sad that she is may be confirmed.
