Sen. Graham Announces Support For Sotomayor As Republicans Continue To Weigh Votes
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Wednesday said he intends to vote for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, making him the fifth Republican senator to endorse the nominee, USA Today reports. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) became the 10th Republican to say that he will vote against her confirmation. During Sotomayor"s confirmation hearings last week, both Graham and Kyl "grilled her extensively," USA Today reports (Kiely/Brettschneider, USA Today, 7/23). According to Politico, Republicans privately estimate that Sotomayor could receive upward of 70 votes (Kady, Politico, 7/23). The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on the nomination Tuesday, followed by a full Senate vote late next week or the first week of August (Stanton, Roll Call, 7/22).According to CQ Today, Graham"s support could encourage other conservatives to back Sotomayor (Perine, CQ Today, 7/22). Graham said that Sotomayor "is definitely more liberal" than any Supreme Court nominee a Republican president would have chosen but that she also is "one of the most qualified" nominees in decades. He added, "I do believe that elections have consequences, and it"s not like we hid from the American people during the campaign that the Supreme Court nomination was at stake. The American people spoke" (USA Today, 7/23). Graham also said that he believes that Sotomayor "follows precedent" and "would not be an activist judge" (CQ Today, 7/22). He continued, "On balance, I do believe that the court will not dramatically change in terms of ideology with her selection," adding, "On some issues, quite frankly, (she) may be more balanced in her approach" (Hirschfeld Davis, AP/Boston Globe, 7/22).Kyl said, "Unfortunately, I have not been persuaded that Judge Sotomayor is absolutely committed to setting aside her biases and impartially deciding cases based upon the rule of law," adding, "And I cannot ignore her unwillingness to answer senators" questions straightforwardly" (Politico, 7/23).Broadcast Coverage NPR"s "All Things Considered" on Wednesday reported on Graham"s support of Sotomayor (Shapiro, "All Things Considered," NPR, 7/22).

Full Senate To Begin Debate On Sotomayor Tuesday
The full Senate on Tuesday is set to begin debate on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, who is widely expected to be confirmed by the end of the week, the Los Angeles Times reports (Savage/Oliphant, Los Angeles Times, 8/4).Six Republicans have announced that they will vote to confirm Sotomayor, while most are aligning with the party base to vote against her confirmation. No Democrats have announced that they will oppose her nomination. At the risk of alienating his state"s large Hispanic population, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Monday announced that he will oppose Sotomayor"s confirmation (AP/USA Today, 8/4). "An excellent resume and an inspiring life story are not enough to quality oneself for a lifetime of service on the Supreme Court," McCain said, adding, "I do not believe she shares my belief in judicial restraint" (Los Angeles Times, 8/4). Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), an advocate for gun-rights, had been under pressure to vote against her but on Monday said that he supports the nominee and will vote to confirm her. Nelson said that he believes Sotomayor has "a great respect for the law" (AP/USA Today, 8/4).
