Sen. Sessions: "It was a delight to talk to Judge Sotomayor. She is bright, impressive, and
knowledgeable. I haven't examined her record yet, more than 4,000 decisions in 17 years, but it will be examined"
It looks like that Judge Sotomayor has impressed the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, but my advice to her is: watch your back your Honor, because Sessions is not to be trusted.

1. What Sessions was really thinking:
"It was a delight to talk to Judge Sotomayor. She is bright, impressive, but still Porto Rican... and a chick."

3. Here's the scoop - the republicans have no hope of filibustering her plus....
...any attempt of keeping her off of the bench is going to turn away more woman and hispanic voters.

4. Nice words that everyone wants to hear.
I doubt that this will mean anything in regards to her confirmation, but those are nicely exchanged pleasantries.

6. Just wait for the confirmation hearings. The ReThugs will take their mask off in their
Masquerade Ball called SCOTUS COnfirmation Hearings.
