McConnell won't vote for Sotomayor
    The Senate's top Republican said Sunday that he will not vote for Judge Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation for the Supreme Court because he worries that her personal views would cloud her objectivity on the bench.
    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, said that while he is a "big fan of her career," comments she made publicly over the years "led me to believe she lacks the objectivity that you would prefer to have in a member of the Supreme Court." [...]
    Mr. McConnell said he wouldn't predict whether Judge Sotomayor will be confirmed. But with Democrats holding a 60-vote "filibuster proof" majority in the Senate and with at least three Republican senators saying they will support her nomination, her confirmation appears likely.

American Patrol Report comment: And what White House's director of intergovernmental affairs is pushing for Sotomayor? Cecilia Munoz, former head of the NCLR. "He makes contentions that are ugly and very divisive*," Munoz said of Glenn Spencer in 2000 after he told a group on Long Island that Mexico was sponsoring the invasion of the United States (NY Times, 10/22/00).
Sotomayor has been active in NCLR for years. She will be a lobbyist for Mexican Reconquistas in the Supreme Court. "I didn't think our Senate would be so cowardly as to put someone like this on the Supreme Court, but I guess I was wrong," Spencer said.
