For the second day of hearings from the Senate Judiciary Committee, for her nomination to the Supreme Court, Judge Sotomayor sat listening to the continuous questions about he statement that a "Latino woman would have better decision making qualities than a white man" in essence. Finally the judge gave in and stated that it was bad what she said.
Senator Arlen Specter thought it was making a lot out of nothing, that she was just showing confidence. Then she started to punch back. Mostly the Republican Senators kept hitting her with the charge that she would be biased in her decisions, she swung back, saying she would uphold the law, if confirmed, as she has in her past cases. Of all people, Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and a JAG lawyer, made the basic assertion that the judge had an anger management problem and wanted her to try to control her temperament. The judge said in response to his accusation that she asked tough questions during case reviews, to get answers, in essence. Chris Matthews of MSNBC's Hardball made the observation that Senator Graham loves Senator John McCain, who is one of the most short tempered men in the senate, and has been know to show his anger many times, according to his senate colleagues, but Senator Graham has a big problem with Judge Sotomayor's temperament. The hearings will go through Thursday, perhaps end on Friday.
