Thread: List of Republicans voting for Sotomayor?

Friends,

They may vote today on Sotomayor and Im reading articles that say 5-6 Republican Senators plan to vote for Sonia Sotomayor.

Can anyone get us a list of those Reps quickly please?

So far:

Richard Lugar (IN)
Mel Martinez (FL)
Olympia Snowe (ME)
Susan Collins (ME)
Lindsay Graham (SC)
Lamar Alexandar (TN)
Kit Bond (MO)
Gregg Judd (NH)

So far I know of these republicans voting yes but I am still looking

Bond
McCain
McConnell

Republican Senator Kit Bond of Missouri announced he would vote for confirmation, bringing to seven the number of Republicans backing Sotomayor.

W.,

Texas2step made this note at the bottom of this post
Sen. Kit Bond (R-MO), who like Sotomayor is a Princeton graduate, has announced he will vote for her confirmation. I believe that now makes 7 Republicans who have announced "For": Lugar, Martinez, Snowe, Collins, Graham, Alexandar, and Bond.

Does everyone agree that the list is Lugar, Martinez, Snowe, Collins, Graham, Alexandar, and Bond.

Or should McCain and Mcconnel be added to this list?

Mc Cain says he will not vote for her ......but since when could we trust him?

In 1998 they voted to put her on the 2nd Circuit Court

Lugar, Snowe, Collins, & Graham
Bond Did not vote

Alexander & Martinez (Not Senators at the time)

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the minority leader, countered that Sotomayor fails the test of impartial justice, despite her impressive story and distinguished background.

WASHINGTON, July 18 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., says he will oppose Judge Sonia Sotomayor's bid to join the Supreme Court, even as other GOP lawmakers have endorsed her.
