Confirmation Hearing For Sotomayor - Day Four

I have not had time to go over all the info on the hearings today, but what I have indicates that it was pretty much like the last few days (in that nothing important/significant enough to derail her has occurred). Someone (who's job I do not envy) is keeping count of how many words are spoken by the Senators and Sotomayor. Not surprisingly, the Senators have doubled Sotomayors word count (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/34199_Sotomayor_Confirmation_Hearings_Day_4-_Live_Stream). Her worst answer seems to be when she was asked about the Ricci case. Head to http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/07/024064.php for the story. The Republicans have said they are not going to try to block the vote(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/16/AR2009071601455.html), not that they had enough votes to even if they wanted to. This may be all over as the vote is a forgone conclusion.

The Washington Post's organized breakdown:
