Sen. Lindsey Graham Asks Sotomayor if She Has a "Temperament Problem" - Video 7/14/09

Here is video today of Sen. Lindsey Graham asking Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, if she has a "temperament problem." Graham cited evaluations posted by lawyers who have appeared before Sotomayor on the bench as a judge. Some of the comments posted described her as:

"She's a terror on the bench."

"Temperamental."

"Abuses lawyers."

"Lacks judicial temperament."

"She can be a bit of a bully."

Sotomayor defended herself as being a judge who "asked tough questions of lawyers." Graham said these evaluations "stand out like a sore thumb," when compared to evaluations of other judges.
