Udall: Sotomayor has 'a true commitment to justice'
Posted 6/16/2009 08:23:00 PM
U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., said he was impressed after meeting today with Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“I found Judge Sotomayor to be extremely qualified and well suited to serve on the United States Supreme Court,” Udall said in a statement released by his office.
“In our meeting, Judge Sotomayor showed a true commitment to justice. We discussed her background and cases as a prosecutor, and I was very impressed by her temperament and dedication to the law,” said Udall, a former New Mexico attorney general. “We also talked about her love for New Mexico, where her former law-school roommate lives, and her appreciation for our spicy food.”
Earlier today, U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., said he was “very impressed” after meeting with Sotomayor. Hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee on the confirmation of Sotomayor begin in mid-July. Bingaman and Udall are not members of that committee.

Tom says: “I found Judge Sotomayor to be extremely qualified and well suited to serve on the United States Supreme Court,” And Jeff said: "“She is clearly well qualified and I think she’d be a great addition to the Supreme Court,”
Hummm.... wonder who was writing the script for this reality show? These two crack pols are just so objective, original, and such critical thinkers, and it shows in their in-depth analysis of the nominee.
