Brownback Still Unenamoured With Sotomayor

This is from last week, but I think it's good to make sure folk know how both of their US Senators feels about a potential member of the Supreme Court.

From the Topeka Capital-Journal:

U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback said Thursday he wasn't swayed by a one-on-one meeting with Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

"I wanted to hear more from her as I have serious concerns about her philosophy as it relates to an activist judiciary," the Kansas Republican said. "Unfortunately, I did not hear anything in our meeting that allayed those concerns."

Brownback, who voted against Sotomayor's nomination in 1998 to the U.S. Court of Appeals, said a Supreme Court justice should be an impartial umpire of legal affairs.

"I am afraid Judge Sotomayor wants to be more of a player than an umpire," he said.

Fairly typical baseless talking points for a fairly typical Republican ideologue. After Senator Pat Roberts' "I'm votin' no" announcement, here's betting both Kansas Senators play their usual roll of useless contrarians and cast big ol' "NO" votes on Judge Sotomayor's confirmation.

At least they're predictable, right? I mean, that's got to count for something...
