CNN is reporting that the Sotomayor hearings are to last "no more than a week"

The hearings are expected to last no more than a week, with time for an opening statement from the nominee, and perhaps two days or more of questioning from senators. No vote by the full Senate -- the last step in confirmation -- has been scheduled, but Obama said he wants Sotomayor on the high court in time for the start of its next session in September.

I am not sure if this is new but it was the first time I have heard that time frame and I thought it would be longer than this.
