NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana’s two senators have met with President Obama’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor.
Sotomayor arrived on Capitol Hill Monday hobbling after she broke her ankle in an early morning airport stumble.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., signed Sotomayor’s cast during their session and Sen. David Vitter, R-La., had a bag of ice and a pillow on hand when the judge arrived at his office.
Landrieu said she had “confidence in her fair-mindedness” and would vote for her confirmation.
Vitter said he still had “very serious concerns” about Sotomayor and that he would continue to do his “homework.”—-Contact The Daily Reveille news staff at [email protected]
