Members of the Senate voted 68-31 today to approve appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor for a seat on the Supreme Court. There, she is expected to become one of the five members of the pro-abortion majority that supports Roe v. Wade and its unlimited abortions.Sotomayor will now replace retiring pro-abortion Justice David Souter, who retired before the high court began its summer recess.
Breaking down the vote, Sotomayor received the backing of all of the members of the Democratic caucus while 31 Republicans voted against her nomination. Another nine Republicans joined Democrats to support her.
Those included Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio, the last lawmaker to announce his position, who said “Judge Sotomayor is not the nominee I would have selected if I were president, but making a nomination is not my role here today."
