3. So what GOPers have said "yes" so far?
I know Lindsay Graham and I imagine the Maine two, but have they announced?

13. I saw Graham's statements on C-Span. He seemed unusually lucid.
He was honest about having some personal and political issues with her confirmation, but he was extremely fair.


It was a little spooky.

19. Thanks! So far only 6 Republicans are voting for her:
Lamar Alexander
Lindsay Graham
Susan Collins
Mel Martinez
Richard Luger
Olympia Snowe

So if all 60 in Dem caucus and 6 GOPers support her she will still be easily confirmed.

24. I'm waiting to see what weasel Lieberman does. The other 2 stooges
- Graham and McCain - made different choices, so I wonder which way Joe will vote.

15. Yes, and was quoted as saying how "very, very important" the Hispanic vote would be for the GOP.
I guess he was off his meds that day.

10. Obama can go as far left as he wants on the next one
He couldn't have picked a more moderate, more qualified individual - the only case they could find in 17 years on the federal bench to hold over her head was one in which she was following precedent (along with the two other judges).

They can whine and cry all they want about how liberal his next nominee is - they'll just sound like Chicken Littles and America will tune them out.

17. All the Republicans EVER have is being assholes
and fear mongering. Can anyone think of anything else they have?

20. Oh, on Sotomayor: I thought it was just a generic "no."
Chevron says 'yes'; GOP says 'no.'
