McCain Gets Mavericky: No on Sotomayor

Just yesterday, John McCain warned that republicans needed to find more Hispanic leaders and bring more Hispanics into the party in order to survive as a party, so this is a very strange move. Now I see what people meant when they called McCain a maverick-- they meant erratic. Even his buddy Lindsey Graham is going to vote for Sotomayor.
After days of indecision, Sen. John McCain announced Monday he will oppose the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.

The Arizona Republican said Sotomayor tried "to walk back from her long public record of judicial activism during her confirmation hearing."

The senator's views will not slow the momentum for what is expected to be easy confirmation later this week for the 55-year-old federal appeals court judge. Legal sources say a White House swearing-in ceremony for the nominee could happen as early as Friday, depending on when the Senate casts a final vote before its August recess. CNN
