Sessions: Sonia Sotomayor 'out of mainstream' Posted on 7/13/2009
The leading Judiciary Committee Republican is charging that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is "out of the mainstream" of legal thinking and has a very activist judicial profile.
Sen. Sessions Comments Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-AL, said, "I think philosophically her statements indicate an approach to judging that is outside the mainstream."
The comments came just hours before Sotomayor, who would be the third woman to join the court, was to face her initial confirmation hearing.
Sessions said on CBS's "The Early Show" that he thought the native New York appeals court judge deserves a fair hearing.
He quickly added that Republicans on the Judiciary panel won't hesitate to question her closely on her judicial philosophy.
Sen. Schumer Comments Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, said, "She's not far left. She's not far right. She's mainstream."
