Sessions: Sotomayor filibuster not "in the works" - Glenn Thrush - POLITICO.com: "Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, is saying for the first time that he thinks the GOP won't push for a filibuster on Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to succeed David Souter on the Supreme Court.
'The nominee has serious problems,' Sessions said on CNN Wednesday morning. 'But I would think that we would all have a good hearing, take our time and do it right. And then the senators cast their vote up or down based on whether or not they think this is the kind of judge that should be on the court. ... I don't sense a filibuster in the works.'
Sessions said it was still possible he could support Sotomayor, who has drawn serious flak from conservative groups."
