The Senate Judiciary
Committee will start the confirmation hearing for Judge Sonia
Sotomayor to the U.S.
Supreme Court this morning.
Sotomayor sits on the 2nd
Circuit Court of Appeals, which has heard some significant land-into-trust
and land claims cases. But she has only participated in three Indian law cases during her tenure.
The National Native American Bar Association supports the nomination but won't endorse Sotomayor due to her lack of experience in Indian law.
The hearing starts at 10am and will be broadcast on the committee website and on C-SPAN.
