WASHINGTON – Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor
appears headed to quick confirmation as the first Hispanic justice in
spite of opposition from a growing chorus of conservative Republican
senators who say she would bring liberal bias to the high court.
A Senate Judiciary Committee vote Tuesday was expected to advance Sotomayor, President Barack Obama's
first Supreme Court nominee, to the full Senate, where she's all but
guaranteed to be confirmed in a bipartisan vote next week.
