Senate Judiciary Committee Votes in Favor of Sotomayor

A this point it is extremely unlikely that Sotomayor will not be confirmed. The only real question is how many Republicans will cross over and vote with the likely unanimous Democrats.

"The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted in favor of the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. The count was 13-6.

It was nearly a straight party-line vote. All 12 Democrats voted in favor of Sotomayor; six of seven Republicans voted against.

The one Republican who voted with the Democrats for President Obama's left-liberal, disingenuous nominee was Lindsey Graham, who thought it would be a nice gesture.
