Judge Sotomayor on the Death Penalty

From NYT's The Caucus blog:

Putting on the Greens | 12:10 p.m. Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, lamented many decisions made by the Supreme Court over time that he said went well beyond the jurisdiction of the court. It has micro-managed the death penalty, he said, “relied on international law that the people have never even adopted. The Supreme Court has even taken on the rules of golf.”

Later, he says rather bluntly when talking about her speeches that no one would disagree with the widespread belief that she was candid, and said he hoped she would explain some of her many statements.
