Rounding up our coverage from yesterday, Sen. Kyl reveals he’s looking for a results-oriented judge; Michael Gerson took my comments about Sonia Sotomayor out of context (he seems to do that a lot); Jeff Sessions wanted to do “that crack cocaine thing”; Lindsey Graham ethered Linda Chavez with a little honesty about Republicans and race; Mark Schmitt took on the New Haven fire department, and Republicans tried to make a point about race and America — and ended up making the opposite one.
Sen. Leahy has set the vote for next week, but a vote isn’t likely until August, since any senator can put a hold on it.
