Sen. Cornyn's Daily Question for Judge Sotomayor Question 20

Statement

Sen. Cornyn's Daily Question for Judge Sotomayor Question 20

What is Judge Sotomayor's judicial philosophy?

Explanation: For the last few weeks, I have posted a daily question for Judge Sotomayor about her record and her views on the law and the Constitution. My questions have focused on a core set of questions: What is Judge Sotomayor's judicial philosophy? How would she interpret the law? What is the proper role of the Supreme Court in a democratic society?

I have asked these questions to help make the confirmation process transparent and respectful. Every Supreme Court nomination calls on the U.S. Senate to examine the nominee's record in depth. I have looked closely at Judge Sotomayor's record in the last few weeks. Through these daily questions, I have been open about my views, my hopes, and my concerns that are raised by Judge Sotomayor's record.

The hearings for Judge Sotomayor will begin next Monday, just three days away. Judge Sotomayor will finally have an opportunity to answer these and other questions. I hope Judge Sotomayor will answer the questions I have posed with the same spirit of transparency and openness in which I have asked them.
