ENSIGN OPPOSES SOTOMAYOR NOMINATION
Washington, DC – Senator John Ensign (R-NV) today made the following statement opposing Judge Sotomayor’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court:
“While I believe Judge Sotomayor is an impressive role model for millions of Americans, I take my responsibility as Nevada’s Senator very seriously, and feel I need to protect the sanctity of our Constitution.
“Judge Sotomayor’s record and testimony provide uncertainty and doubt that she will rule with a fair and impartial adherence to the rule of law. I feel she has given no assurances that the Second Amendment is an individual, fundamental right – a right I believe is central to the Constitution. I believe she has demonstrated a propensity to rule with purpose-driven results and has indicated a particular interest in international standards or laws to decide U.S. constitutional questions.
“Therefore, I respectfully oppose her nomination.”
