Senator John Cornyn today announced his intention to vote against the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court of the United States. Cornyn said “The hearings were an opportunity for Judge Sotomayor, and ultimately, in my view, a missed opportunity…regarding her most controversial decisions, she refused to explain them on the merits. I will vote against confirmation of Judge Sotomayor…I will vote with the certain knowledge that she will be confirmed despite my vote. I wish her well…and I hope she proves that my doubts are unfounded.”
