Sotomayor Confirmation Hearings Begin Today

Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee will start the hearings for Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Speculation is that Sotomayor’s nomination will sail through the Committee and she will ultimately be confirmed by the Senate.

However, The Politico has some things to watch for in the Senate proceedings. There is no doubt that this confirmation hearing will have some fireworks with the GOP calling into question Sotomayor’s previous cases/rulings, her comments, etc.

Stay tuned for some video coverage, which I might embed tonight or tomorrow for your viewing pleasure. In the meantime, call your Senator (202-224-3121) and urge them to vote no on Sotomayor. Sotomayor’s previous comments and her overall judicial record proves that she will not be the right choice to uphold the Constitution.
