U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said Tuesday she finds "troubling" statements she says Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor has made in the past 11 years that federal judges are able to "change policy."

Hutchison, in Lubbock to speak on transportation issues, was one of 29 senators - all Republicans - who in 1998 voted against confirming Sotomayor to be a judge on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan. Sotomayor eventually was confirmed.

Hutchison said her vote against Sotomayor then was about Sotomayor's "judicial activism" as a district court judge.

But she said she will look "afresh" at Sotomayor's full record and give her a "fair hearing."

"I will listen to the full content of her record, but I will not vote for anyone that I believe has a record in the last 11 years of judicial activism," Hutchison said.

Wait until people start finding out about Sotomayor's disgustingly racist comments at Berkeley in 2001.

Hutchison is such a phony. If she weren’t running for governor, she would be saying how “historic” the pick was.

Democrats were racist when they were white KKK members.
Democrats were racist when they were 95% of black voters for Obama.
Democrats are racist when they are a Latino women who thinks she is a better than a white man because of her nationality and gender.
Democrats have always been, and still are, racist.
