WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, said Thursday he does not plan to vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, becoming the first Republican to explicitly state his opposition to President Obama's pick for the high court.
"With all due respect to the nominee and nothing personal, I do not plan to vote for her," Roberts told talk radio host Christ Stigall on Kansas station KCMO.
Way to go, Pat.
I don't care that Senator Roberts will vote against Judge Sotomayor, but to be fair she does deserve an up or down vote. Republicans claimed during the Bush era of all the stonewalling Democrats did on his appointments. It would be hypocritical to do the same thing now. That Steve is being an Equal Opportunity Annoyer.
