"Little for Liberals in Confirmation Hearings; As Sotomayor and White House Avoid Ideology, Some on Left See Wasted Chance"

"Little for Liberals in Confirmation Hearings; As Sotomayor and White House Avoid Ideology, Some on Left See Wasted Chance": The Washington Post contains this article today. In addition, the newspaper contains an editorial entitled "Confirm Sonia Sotomayor: Despite less than candid exchanges on diversity, her hearings reveal a well-qualified candidate for the court"; columnist Kathleen Parker has an op-ed entitled "The GOP's Sotomayor Sinkhole"; and Robin Givhan has an essay entitled "Opening a Conventional Closet In Quest for a Supreme Robe."

Today in The Los Angeles Times, James Oliphant and David G. Savage have an article headlined "Diversity a touchy topic at Sotomayor hearings; What Sen. Jeff Sessions calls an 'honest discussion' on race, some observers say is an attack on ethnic pride." The newspaper also contains an editorial entitled "Verdict on Sotomayor: The nominee impressed, despite a hearing that was big on imagery but short on substance."

In the Week in Review section of The New York Times, Jill Abramson has an article headlined "Women on the Verge of the Law: From Anita Hill to Sonia Sotomayor." In addition, columnist Frank Rich has an op-ed entitled "They Got Some 'Splainin' to Do."

And The Associated Press has reports headlined "Hearings fail to sway Sessions to Sotomayor's side" and "Sotomayor would be beholden to no one."
