Idaho Republican Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch say they intend to vote against President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, according to an Associated Press report.

Crapo and Risch will join most Republican senators who have come out in recent weeks against Sotomayor, seeking to become the nation’s first Hispanic justice.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on her confirmation Tuesday.

Crapo and Risch, a former prosecutor, say they have too many concerns about the nominee’s views on the constitutional right to bear arms.

7. As an Idaho Democrat

I can tell you all this was a foregone conclusion. Crap-o and little Jimmy are typical Idaho republicans - rabid, ignorant, and incapable of thinking for themselves. They take all their orders from their neo-con bosses - period - end of story.

Nothing to see here, just keep moving along.

Q3JR4
Is it a bad thing that when I type "Not" in the subject line the bar that appears with phrases I've previously wrote on DU has "Not really all that surprising" as the first choice?
