Hatch says Sotomayor’s answers contain ‘WH coaching’

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) continued to voice his displeasure with Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings, accusing her of reciting White House talking points.

He tweeted:

Frustrating…the Judge’s answers have been quite generic on occasion. Sure sign of WH coaching.

Hatch previously called the confirmation process “a battle for control of the country.”

During questioning Tuesday, the six-term senator suggested that Sotomayor was less enthusiastic about gun rights than she indicated in prior statements but also said “she’s doing fine” during an earlier recess.
