Sonia Sotomayor's completed Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire is available here. The appendix is here.

In a blog post this afternoon, White House Counsel Greg Craig underscored the administration's goal to "advance her nomination through the Senate as swiftly as possible." He wrote that she has completed the questionnaire, all 173 pages (and 130 appendix pages) of it, "faster than any Supreme Court nominee in recent history -- in just nine days." Craig said it took 13 days for John Roberts, 15 days for Ruth Bader Ginsburg and 30 days for Samuel Alito.

Craig reiterated the administration's goal to have her confirmed before September and implicitly called for a vote by the August recess: "This historically fast completion of the exhaustive questions is no small feat that will hopefully lead to her swift consideration by the Senate and enable her to be a member of the Supreme Court by the time they begin selecting cases in September."

Sotomayor has gone through Senate confirmation twice before: in 1992, after she was nominated for District Court in the Southern District of New York by President George H.W. Bush, and in 1998, after being nominated for the 2nd Circuit bench by President Bill Clinton. Per the Judiciary Committee's Web site, here are her completed questionnaires and transcripts of the confirmation hearings for both nominations:

• District Court: questionnaire and confirmation hearing

• 2nd Circuit: questionnaire and hearing

It is not hard to understand why the question of value is still raised when you consider that today’s outsourcing models have some inherent limitations that reduce the overall gains companies can achieve . at home energy
