Coverage And Commentary Online
Now the real fun begins. This morning, senators will have their first opportunity to ask Sonia Sotomayor questions, receiving 30 minutes apiece. Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., will be the first up, followed by ranking member Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.; the questioning will then roughly alternate between the Democratic and Republican members of the committee.
Here's a roundup of some minute-by-minute coverage and commentary:
• As is traditional during Supreme Court confirmation hearings, C-SPAN is live-streaming the hearings and providing constant live TV coverage.
• ABC News is offering live video coverage and periodic commentary by legal correspondent Jan Crawford Greenburg on the blog Legalities.
• PBS is covering the hearings live and also providing streaming video. National Law Journal's Marcia Coyle will provide legal analysis.
• The Washington Post has live video coverage and commentary from its correspondents as well.
• SCOTUSblog is live-blogging.
• The Federalist Society is hosting an ongoing debate this week among prominent legal experts, including Tom Goldstein, founder of SCOTUSblog and Supreme Court litigator at Akin Gump, and Wendy Long, general counsel of the Judicial Confirmation Network.
