WASHINGTON – The Senate's top Republican says he admires Judge Sonia Sotomayor's personal story but is not going to vote for her confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Sen. Mitch McConnell says that he is "a big fan of her career" and biography. He is not, however, a fan of her personal views.
McConnell says Sotomayor lacks the objectivity he wants in a justice. He says he is worried that her opinions would shape rulings from the bench.
