— -- The Senate Judiciary Committee started its hearings today on the Supreme Court nomination of Sonia Sotomayor.

Senators spent the morning delivering their traditional opening statements. The judge's only opportunity to talk during the morning came when Leahy invited her to introduce her entourage, which included many of her former law clerks and ex-FBI director Louis Freeh.
