The Senate Judiciary Committee this morning is beginning their week-long series of confirmation hearings on Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor. Most of today’s hearing will be taken up by opening statements from each of the 19 members of the Judiciary Committee, and Sotomayor isn’t expected to start responding to questions until late this afternoon.

UPDATE: Watch day 2 of the hearings here.
