National Journal's The Ninth Justice

Thursday, July 16, 2009 9:40 PM

The Senate Judiciary Committee wrapped up outside testimony in Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings this evening, thus concluding the week's events.

Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has scheduled a committee vote for Tuesday, but ranking member Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., along with other Republicans have signaled that they will seek a week-long delay, which they are allowed to do under committee rules. Nonetheless, Sessions said earlier today that he is looking forward to a full Senate vote before the August recess.

Check this blog tomorrow for a video Q&A with National Journal's Stuart Taylor Jr. discussing his take from the hearings.
