Former President George H.W. Bush weighed in earlier today on the attacks against Sonia Sotomayor — and he’s against it.
“I don’t know her that well but I think she’s had a distinguished record on the bench and she should be entitled to fair hearings,” said Bush. He cited the example of Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who said that while he might vote for or against her, he is backing away from the more vitriolic attacks.
“And she was called by somebody a racist once. That’s not right. I mean that’s not fair,” said Bush. “It doesn’t help the process. You’re out there name-calling. So let them decide who they want to vote for and get on with it.”
