Congressional Research Service on Sotomayor: Hard to Categorize
The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service has produced a report on the opinions of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, drawing conclusions that lend support to her advocates' assertions that she is far from an extreme liberal. "As a group, the opinions belie easy categorization along any ideological spectrum," the report states. In her respect for precedent, it says, Sotomayor's approach "would be in line with the judicial philosophy of Justice Souter," the justice she is in line to replace.
