Coleman: I Will Review Sotomayer's Record "When I Am Re-Elected"

Former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) has released a statement on the Sotomayor nomination, promising to make a thorough review of her record -- as soon as he's re-elected:

ST. PAUL - Senator Norm Coleman today released the following statement in response to President Obama's nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court.

"When debating judges, I was firm that I would use the same standard to evaluate judges under a Democrat President as I would a Republican President. Are they intellectually competent, do they have a record of integrity, and most importantly, are they committed to following the Constitution rather than creating new law and policy. When I am re-elected, I intend to review Judge Sotomayor's record using this process. Certainly, the nomination of a Hispanic woman to the nation's highest court is something all American's should applaud."

In all fairness to Coleman, Al Franken has also released a statement on the Sotomayor pick.

Franken: I Look Forward To Joining My Colleagues On Sotomayor Confirmation Process

"I want to congratulate Judge Sotomayor on her history-making nomination to the Supreme Court. Confirming a Supreme Court Justice is among the most important responsibilities the Senate has, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I look forward to joining my colleagues as we examine Judge Sotomayor's qualifications carefully before confirmation. However, it is already clear that President Obama has chosen a remarkable jurist with an impressive record of accomplishment and a life story with which working families can identify."

7. She'll be the most senior person on the Supreme Court
by the time Coleman gets elected to anything. And then it'll probably be president of his local hair club.

16. In the original statement, did he really pluralize "Americans" with an apostrophe?
"American's"?

Because if he did, then he REALLY looks like an idiot.

27. Yeah he did. Here's his blog page.

Everyone be sure to pass this along to everyone you know. You can also drop Norm a message suggesting that instead of wasting time and money on his futile obstruction of Franken's victory, he go back to second grade and learn how to spell.
