Tom Coburn, Senator from Oklahoma and hero of hardcore small government conservatives, seems to have a knack at putting Sotomayor on the spot. Watch as he calls her out on a lesser known, but arguably more important, speech she gave where she stated that foreign law should affect American judges' reasoning, and watch how she struggles to wash those comments away.
Then, there is a great (if not that enlightening) exchange concerning gun rights, full with I Love Lucy reference.
Finally, here she is punting on a straight-forward, very specific question concerning abortion, something she has done quite a bit of during these hearings, which, in all honesty, is probably the right strategic move. Also, note Coburn being the Southern Gent that he is.
