It's about to get ugly in the Senate. This week, almost three-quarters of GOP senators will oppose Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor as unfit for the bench. Although the Associated Press reports that Sotomayor's confirmation as the first Hispanic justice is still "all but assured," senators from both sides of the aisle will go through the motions of a heated confirmation battle. Democrats have painted Sotomayor, who grew up in a Bronx housing project, as embodying the American Dream and say she will be a moderate judge, while Republicans have focused on her "wise Latina" comment and say she's an activist who would bring bias to the High Court.
