NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The senior Republican on the Senate
Judiciary Committee says he has made up his mind on Supreme Court
nominee Sonia Sotomayor, but he's not ready to make his decision
public.
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said before the Tennessee
Republican Party's annual fundraiser on Saturday that he expects
the vote on Democratic President Barack Obama's nominee to take
place Tuesday.
Session says he remains "very troubled by her responses" at
confirmation hearings. He is also praising his Republican
colleagues on the panel "who had to raise difficult issues, and at
the same time do it in a way that was not unfair to the nominee."
Tennessee Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker do not
serve on the Judiciary Committee and said they would make their
decisions after the panel votes.
