New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen says she looks forward to a fair and swift confirmation for Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Shaheen, a Democrat, says Sotomayor has led a distinguished career as a federal judge and has consistently demonstrated independence and a deep knowledge of the law. She says Sotomayor has received strong bipartisan support in the past.
Sen. Judd Gregg, a Republican, says he congratulates Sotomayor on her nomination and looks forward to carefully reviewing her qualifications.
