As the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan get underway, the Edward M. Kennedy Institute is partnering with the PBS NewsHour to provide video highlights of the nine most recent Senate confirmation hearings.
Justice Sotomayor would be confirmed in August 2009 by a 68-31 Senate vote.
Lindsey Graham was consistently one of the harshest questioners yet he voted for both Sotomayor and Kagan (one of the few Republicans to do so).
I love how she keeps slowing her replies down, so the small minded panel members can follow more easily.
She's just really slow in the head. Not to worry, Kavanaugh will make the SCOTUS Great Again!
Or she is just slow with her own thoughts lol no need to overanalyze whats being said stupid liberal
She’s no Neil Gorsuch. Now that is a real judge.
She's by far one of the least eloquent nominees, to be honest.
@@Law9652 Appreciate your honesty, but I completely disagree, I honestly she’s a good judge and is qualified to be at the Supreme Court.
Here because the need to restore my confidence in SCOTUS after Mr. I like beer.
Dr Fraud did well, netting 500.000 on gofundme and her Lawyers were pro-bono
I drank beer, I like beer, I drank lots of beer, we all did, I like beer... do you like beer?
Democrat voters are a culture of moochers
I love you Sonia front Texas 🇲🇽 🇵🇷
She is well spoken and very confident in herself.
Whut
Wow. She can speak, such a high bar for a SCOTUS Justice.
Thankyou for sharing this video on youtube.
She Is not a bad judge.
Lindsey Graham was very RUDE...
lol he read her review about being a bully but look whos in the oval office
Thank you for posting this, EMKInstitute.
I see how Graham tried to paint Sotomayor as angry but Comey-Barrett as "well behaved."
I noticed that too, but it’s interesting cuz he didn’t opposed to her nomination, he still voted for Sotomayor and he once even said that “She will serve this nation honorably”
She was well behaved. Show me where she was not.
Do you say the same about Clarence Thomas?
LOL here we are years later and Lindsey is the one with the temperament at Judge Jackson's hearing. THE AUDACITY.
An inspiration to all!
A perfect example of a Judge
She is proving to be a great Justice.
Bot
She's a racial bigot!
The evaluation of Sotomayor's "temperament" is likely at LEAST partially driven by sexism. I wonder if the same behavior, questions, or "temperament" displayed by a man, would be considered "STRONG", "commanding", competent, etc., but from a woman, is seen as described by War Monger Lindsey Graham.
Kavanaugh was able to rant and rave so I guess so..
Thanks to the kavanaugh kangaroo court... you no longer have to wonder. "Do you drink beer?"
The slot machine, "Twin Fire" , me and Tori Amos.
So if all previous Supreme court justices were all women and then a man for the first time is confirmed who would be ignorant enough to suggest that the new male justice isn't going to see things from a new and fresh perspective? Not that the man's personal experiences are the only ones that count but he would most like see things a bit differently; not to say radically so but just differently. The bottom line is that she must be just, fair, and consistent and I'm confident that she will be. Now Kavanaugh went on a partisan rant, imagine if she had done that!
Thanks as the french say a “re-trard”
#1 NOW IS A PERFECT TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT *TERM LIMITS FOR ALL FEDERAL JUDGES *THE REAL-ISSUE CONCERNING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES = 3/4 OF A CENTURY FOR ONE MIND-SET ON A BENCH IS JUST TOO LONG!!! This is predicated on the answer to the question: Why are POLITICIANS from both parties clamoring so fervently to nominate Justices to all of the Federal Court benches? The answer to that question provides a clear understanding of how Americans have come to view our Federal Judges, and that is, as an arm of each political party, respectively. And the main follow-through on this fact is that Judges these days are more-than-willing to issue partisan rulings these days. This is in fact, realized, in the many rulings that have been issued from the various benches, from the lower Courts, right up through the Applet Courts, and through to the Supreme Court of these Lands. Just look at the resent Florida Court ruling on the "restoration of felon's right's to vote in elections. Consider the referendum-vote of the people of Florida, who voted overwhelming to give those rights back to those felons who have served their time for crimes committed." The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, in his plight to manipulate the voter-ranks in the 2020 election, devised a plan to withhold the restoration of those felon's rights by arbitrarily imposing the requirement that those felons must pay back any fines before being able to vote. Moving through the court system, the claims of those felons, that this was not the People's Will, was dismissed by (Republican favored) Applet Judges, in favor of the voter-suppressing Republican Governor. This sort of ruling is plainly clear that Federal Judges are becoming increasingly partisan with their rulings. This could come back to find the Republican ranks on the other side of such future partisan rulings. So this is the solution: "We need to find a way to take partisanship out of our judicial system, the way it was intended in the first place. We need Term Limits for our Federal Judges, and a reform of the process of which they are appointed to the Benches" I believe, with the modern political climate, it will be impossible to solve, that is, within the process justices are appointed today. I believe the American People would be better served if our Judges were VOTED onto the benches by both branches of the government: House and the Senate. Most importantly, I believe LIFE APPOINTMENTS to the Bench is severely problematic for the Republic. Three quarters of a century could go by, having a partisan Justice sitting on the bench skewing rulings that only make sense to a small number of American Citizens. This has to change if we are to have a better system of government. The course we are on now will only render the US looking more and more like Belarus of today.
This is one of the more "controversial" nominations and confirmations to the Supreme Court, in some time.
And yet, still seated on the court. After, putting the information out there.
iam ok where i am.
Even The Back peddling 🤨 don’t make sense
You need more legal knowledge then a fryer at Micky D. To be at that position.
Spanish will regain this land one day...that’s for sure...just educate yourselves young people...this country deserves better....sessions needs to be replace soon....Sotomayor is very intelligent and smart...her articulation ...her vocabulary shows she really went to real University....
Hahaha, "regain"? Who do you think the Spanish took the land from? They don't speak Spanish from Rosetta Stone.
@@Law9652 Teddy...Open your eyes, Diana is right and I am white. This land was never ours in the first place and we dont have that many children.. We are dying out. Dont laugh, its a battle of demographics. If you can count its really pretty obvious who the minority will be in another 30 years time...
Just want you guys to know that people from Latin America are not Spanish... people from Spain are Spanish.
Speaking as a latino, we should all come together in unity. As a country we can’t keep hating each other... If not this country will be destroyed by our own cause.
Spanish as in those from Spain??
Justice Sotomayor is a role model for EVERYONE. I only wish she were not in the 3-bloc liberal minority...At this point, her opinions may never become law, but history will judge her as the one on the right side, fighting FOR the little guy.
Damn old old news
The t
She is an appointed politician with no understanding of what the rule of law is.
TED KENNEDY MURDERED THAT GIRL!
Esperiencia karma
How come women only get appointed by democratic presidents
You might want to do some homework. Sandra Day O'Connor was appointed by Reagan as the first woman Supreme Court Justice.
Marc Parella yeah, and after that...
no
It's sort of different. Clarence Thomas isn't the first black person who was a member of the SCOTUS. Sotomayor is the first Latin American though.
This woman got 68 votes in the senate. Meanwhile, Neil Gorsuch - who is FAR more qualified - got only 54.
Her ex husband was white Irish and obviously most but not all of her genetic markers ORIGINATED in SOUTHern EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE . Most of her ancestors but not all came on ships from southwestern Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe. They landed on a small island called borinquen
How great is Patrick Leahy? He’s such a great guy all those assholes are attacking her in a borderline racist way and he’s like ok here you go judge you may speak and refute these assholes god bless that man! And the justice!
Vermont has two great senators.
SUSAN RICE FOR MAINE SENATE 2020
Lindsey Graham needed to let her speak! Typical old man that asks women questions only to cut them off and not allow them to have their own voice. Lindsey Graham had an agenda with his questions. He had no interest in hearing what Justice Sotomayor had to say. And you also have to consider that the comments made by Lawyers by her could have been influenced by 1) Lawyers that have lost cases that are bitter 2) Old lawyers that are sexist and can't stand to see a woman in charge
Are you some sort of feminist?
@@racutis you don't have to be a feminist to be a gentleman.
Graham voted yes for her.Sen Framestein sucks!....Dr Fraud did well, netting 500.000 on gofundme and her Lawyers were pro-bono
Rasista
Inspiración de fraude corupcion
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch of Brooklyn !
That is incredibly disrespectful
Compare this to how the Democrats treated Bret Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett
Are her teeth new?
Worst nominee ever
