We have read many of Judge Sotomayor's opinions and we are of the opinion that her approval as the next Supreme Court Justice is a good decision.
The vote came with some GOP support, nine Republican Senators voting for her confirmation:
• Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.)
• Sen. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.)
• Sen. Christopher Bond (Mo.)
• Sen. Susan Collins (Maine)
• Sen. Olympia Snowe (Maine)
• Sen. Richard Lugar (Ind.)
• Sen. Mel Martinez (Fla.)
The newest member will be sworn in by Roberts, the chief justice, on Saturday morning at the Supreme Court. Sotomayor will then get right to work on the cases now pending on the Supreme Court calendar.
In spite of all the harsh talk about her record, a balanced reading indicates she will issue reasoned opinions based on solid precedent; a fairly conservative judicial approach.
Good vote Senator Nelson.
