Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, is busy playing down the expectations for any GOP resistance to the Sotomayor nomination.

Sessions appeared on the Today show, and said that Sotomayor “has serious problems.” And he urged against rushing through to a confirmation. “But I would think that we would all have a good hearing, take our time, and do it right,” he said. “And then the senators cast their vote up or down based on whether or not they think this is the kind of judge that should be on the court.”

However, he also added: “I don’t sense a filibuster in the works.”
