My spies tell me Lindsey is angling for the brown vote, which you know, just occurred to him last week or something.
We have a large immigrant population, and he wants to make them into Republicans. I hope they see through his gamesmanship.

[Image]Sonia Sotomayor is one step closer to joining the Supreme Court on the first Monday in October after yesterday's 13-6 affirmative vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee to send it to a full Senate vote next week.
Surprisingly, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was the only Republican vote in favor of the nominee. The rest of the Republicans cast NO votes, including Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Charles Grassley (R-IA) who have previously never failed to vote for a Supreme Court nominee.
Despite the GOP Hateraid for Sotomayor, the nomination now goes to the full Senate next week for the up or down vote she's expected to handily win for her historic confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Justice Sotomayor will sure look good in that group photo this October.

Yeah, I was stunned also.
