Hatch Will Oppose Sotomayor [NRO Staff]
From the press release:
WASHINGTON –
Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), a longtime member and former chairman of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, today issued the following statement on
the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace Supreme Court
Justice David Souter:
“However, after thoroughly reviewing Judge
Sotomayor’s record and being able to hear her testimony and responses
during the hearing process, I reluctantly, and with a heavy heart, have
found that I cannot support her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In truth, I wish President Obama had chosen a Hispanic nominee that all
Senators could support. I believe it would have done a great deal for
our great country. Although Judge Sotomayor has a compelling life story
and dedication to public service, her statements and record were too
much at odds with the principles about the judiciary in which I deeply
believe.
