Graham: I'll Vote for Sotomayor

Lindsey Graham intends to vote for Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, Talking Points Memo reports. "I believe she is well qualified,” said the senator, one of her more aggressive questioners. "She's definitely more liberal than a Republican would have chosen, but I do believe elections have consequences." President Obama "deserves some deference on my part," Graham said.

And what of Sotomayor’s “wise Latina” comment? "The speeches are troubling,” Graham said, “but, you know what, I've given some speeches that may have been troubling to those on the other side.” (More Lindsey Graham stories.)
