Sen Specter: Yea to Sotomayor

July 17, 2009

Sen McConnell: Nay
Sen Lugar: Yea

Who’s listening to the politically bi-curious Arlen Specter nowadays?

The people he represented for decades?

Or the people he said for decades were were the problem?

From the Office of Senator Arlen Specter:

Judge Sonia Sotomayor brought to the Judiciary Committee hearings an outstanding record academically, as a prosecutor and as a commercial lawyer plus 17 distinguished years as a federal judge. At the hearings she displayed intellect, restraint and judicial demeanor.

As the third woman and the first Hispanic, she will add needed diversity to the Supreme Court.

I intend to vote for her and urge my colleagues to do the same.
