"Slowing of Sotomayor Increasingly Difficult; GOP Attacks Continue, but Delays Unlikely"

Online today at CQ Politics, Keith Perine reports that "GOP Looks for Ways to Delay Sotomayor Hearing." And John Edgell has an essay entitled "The 'Sotomayor Primary.'"

The Associated Press has a report headlined "Franken eyes role as 'people's proxy' in hearings" that begins, "Finally joining the Senate, Democrat Al Franken envisions playing the 'people's proxy' during Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court hearings. Franken, awaiting 'an awfully emotional' Tuesday when he is sworn in, is joining the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is to begin hearings next week on President Barack Obama's first nominee to the high court."

And online at Reason, Damon W. Root has an essay entitled "'As Naked an Abuse of Government Power as Could be Imagined': How the Sotomayor nomination revived the debate over eminent domain abuse."
