Interesting. When Sen. Graham (R-SC) announced his support for Judge Sotomayor's nomination I was thinking we might see double-digit support for the Supreme Court nominee among the Republican senators. But with the announcement by the former Judiciary Committee chairman that he'll oppose the nomination, I'm thinking that the number of Republicans supporting her won't hit such a high number. The Republican caucus has gotten so right-leaning that there aren't many senators notably to the left of Hatch. So at this point I'm doubting there will be 70 votes in favor of her nomination.
