Confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor continued Wednesday on Capitol Hill. Sotomayor deflected Republican attempts to force her to disclose personal stances on issues such as gun control and abortion. Republican Senator John Cornyn asked Sotomayor if she had been vetted by the White House for her views on abortion.

Sen. John Cornyn: “The White House Press Secretary said the President did not ask Sotomayor specifically about abortion rights during their interview. Is that correct?”

Judge Sonia Sotomayor: “Yes, it is absolutely correct. I was asked no question by anyone, including the President, about my views on any specific legal issue.”

Sotomayor returns for a third and final day of questioning today. A full Senate vote on her nomination is expected early next month.
