No word yet on whether Nelson considers Sotomayor an activist. Yesterday, in response to Obama's nomination, the senator issued a cautious statement ending thusly:
"Concerning Judge Sotomayor’s nomination, I look forward to examining her entire record and commitment to upholding the law and Constitution of the United States in the coming weeks."
There's really no clear definition as to what exactly is an activist judge according to Nelson, but apparently none of President George W. Bush's nominees were. Nelson was the only Democrat to vote for Janice Rogers Brown, one of Bush's most conservative and controversial judicial picks, and was one of only a couple of Democrats who supported Samuel Alito and John Roberts for the Supreme Court and John Bolton for UN ambassador. Nelson also backed both John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General.
That was just one excerpt. Follow the link for the rest.
