Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), on Thursday, spoke out in defense of President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court, Hon. Sonia Sotomayer, saying that the accusations of racism leveled at her by Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich are "inappropriate" and that he "does not endorse" such tactics or language. He said, "This is not the kind of tone any of us want to set when it comes to performing our constitutional responsibilities of advise and consent.” Video here
Cornyn is the Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and has grabbed headlines recently for his endorsement of Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who is running for US Senate; and for his brief upset with Hillary Clinton in January.
