| Let the confirmation hearing begin... So far it's been typically ideological for the Senators' comments. Hatch said (not exact quote): "We should respect to Sotomayor's record by taking it very seriously". A backhanded comment if I heard it...

| And all the Dems do is sit there and talk about the things she's done and how nice she is. They don't talk about the results of things she's done. The Rep gave it to her with both barrels. What kills me is when Obama was a Senator he talked about how a Supreme Court justice should not vote based on their ethic backround or their upbringing. And who does he nominate, a Judge that thinks she can make a better decision based on her ethnic backround better than any white male.

| Sounds like the person yelled out "What about abortion?".

| While I feel very strongly that abortion is murder, wrong, should be illegal, etc., etc.; I also feel as strongly that all sides need to stop using a single issue when it comes to elections and nominations. |

| "Unless you have a complete meltdown, you're going to get confirmed..." That was pretty funny. |

| The confirmation will likely be right along party lines.

| Graham seemed interested in going back to the standard of "are you qualified" vs. "are you going to be a jurist that agrees with me". Invoking both Alito and Ginsberg. I thought that was good. |
