Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH): Gregg won't seek re-election in '10, and he has shown significant deference to Obama's appointees (he was, after all, Obama's pick to head the Commerce Dept., for a short while).<br /><br />2. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ): Nearly 30% of AZ's population is Hispanic, and McCain's BFF, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), was the only Senate Judiciary Republican to break with this party. But McCain is also feeling some heat on the right; Minutemen co-founder Chris Simcox is planning a primary challenge.<br /><br />3. Sen. Kit Bond (R-MO): A spokesperson for the retiring Bond said that he is inclined to support Sotomayor. But Bond helped lead the charge against State Dept. legal adviser Harold Koh over concerns that Koh might supplant American law with transnational law based on his past writings. Sotomayor's beliefs about how or if judges should consider foreign or international law was a major GOP theme during her confirmation hearings.<br /><br />4. Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH): Guns won't be an issue for the retiring Voinovich, who helped Dems shoot down the Thune amendment, which would have lifted some restrictions on bringing concealed weapons over state lines. Voinovich doesn't have many GOP friends right now, either, after he said 7/27 that the party was "being taken over by Southerners." But Voinovich also voted against Solicitor Gen. Elena Kagan, who some think might be Obama's next SCOTUS choice, back in March.<br /><br />5. Sen. John Ensign (R-NV): A longshot, but the beleaguered Ensign has a little more than three years to rehabilitate his reputation before his re-election bid. Where to start: his conservative base, or the 25%-and-growing Hispanic population of his home state?</b><br /><br />More Sonia Information with Last Developments, Votes, and Flipping Republicans.<br /><br /><a href="http://milenials.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Milenials.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-14223724367052324302009-07-29T14:36:47.954-05:002009-07-29T14:36:47.954-05:00The Best 10 Cartoons on Sonia Sotomayor.
