Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) made an interesting move recently for the upcoming Sonia Sotomayor confirmation hearings: He blew off meeting with her, because she was 10 minutes late to his office. “I decided to proceed on to the next meeting,” said Corker.
Of course, it should be noted that Sotomayor’s own schedule has been thrown off because she broke her ankle, and has had some difficulty getting from place to place.
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) has also refused to meet with Sotomayor, though in his case it was on the grounds that he’s voting against her, anyway.
As Think Progress points out, other Republicans have been much more open to her — even David Vitter politely received her in his office, and offered her an ice pack and pillow to rest her ankle.
