Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe (both Maine), Lindsay Graham (SC), George Voinovich (OH), Mel Martinez (FL), Dick Lugar (IN), Kit Bond (MO), Judd Gregg (NH), and Lamar Alexander (TN) joined a unified Democratic congress in confirming the first Hispanic and third female Supreme Court Justice.
As was the common reaction after Barack Obama's win in November: a great day for equality in America, a bad day for the law.
Interesting note: no Republican up for re-election in 2010 voted for Mrs. Sotomayor. Which seems to imply that there is not much fear of a hispanic backlash (though this post from yesterday shows that racial politics are still alive and well in America.)

Susan Collins Wears A Skirt To Play Softball?
The picture in question. Apparently, she was also wearing pumps. If she's going to represent Maine, we need to get someone in there to give her lessons on playing a competitive game of softball.
