Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III won't support Sotomayor

This really isn't a surprise, but the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III (R-Confederacy) isn't going to vote for Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation:

The senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee says he'll vote against Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions says he doesn't think Sotomayor has the convictions to resist the pull of judicial activism once she becomes a justice.

Sessions has proven he doesn't have the ability to resist the pull of racism. It's marked his career. Why the Republicans put him front and center on this one is beyond me.

Sotomayor's confirmation will be approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow -- and she'll get a vote in the full Senate by the end of next week.
