Leahy Tells GOP "Stop The Racial Politics" On Sotomayor
Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) on CNN's "State of the Union" this morning: "I hope we don't go back to the day when we used to put African-Americans up for confirmation and say yes, but you belong to the NAACP so we're really suspicious of you," Leahy added later, referencing the Republican concerns with Sotomayor's involvement with the Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund. "Come on, stop the racial politics."
