GOP Sen. Cornyn to vote against Sotomayor

WASHINGTON -- The senator who runs the GOP's Senate campaign arm says he'll vote against Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

Texas Republican John Cornyn is siding with his party's leaders and conservatives against President Barack Obama's first high court nominee.

He's opposing Sotomayor, who would be the first Latina justice, despite his state's high concentration of Hispanic voters. Cornyn is a vivid example of GOP divisions over the 55-year-old appeals court judge, who is virtually guaranteed confirmation by early August.

Republicans want to please their conservative base by opposing Obama's nominee, but fear doing so would alienate Hispanic and female voters. A handful of GOP senators have said they'll vote yes.

Thank You very much Sen. Cornyn .


Voters keep this in mind when it comes to voting him back into office.

All Republicans who voted for her must be voted out of office. And the Blue Dog Democrats had better tow their line for America is breaking apart.
