Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking GOP member on the Judiciary Committee, said yesterday that the New Haven firefighters case will come up at Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearing.
This case sharpens our focus on Judge Sotomayor’s troubling speeches and writings, which indicate…that personal experiences and political views should influence a judge’s decision. That theory is a breathtaking departure from the proper role of the American judge and will clearly be the subject of questioning at the upcoming hearing.
This case will only raise more questions in the minds of the American people concerning Judge Sotomayor’s commitment to treat each individual fairly and not as a member of a group.
