Nelson undecided on Sotomayor
**I hate looking at his face. What a piece of garbage this guy is. Healthcare and now this?

Sen. Ben Nelson said Wednesday he has not decided whether he will vote to confirm Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Nelson said he'll delay his decision until next week's scheduled Senate vote.

"I accept her judicial philosophy of fidelity to the law," Nelson said during a telephone conference call from Washington.

Nelson said he also believes Sotomayor is committed to supporting settled judicial precedent.

But, he said, he needs to "convince myself she won't be an activist" on the court.

"I need an opportunity to review a few things," the Democratic senator said.

Republican Sen. Mike Johanns already has announced he'll vote against Sotomayor's confirmation.

6. If Nelson wants to be a Republican, he should lose his committee assignments
It's one thing to be an independent thinker, it's another to be obstructionist to your own party. He's free to leave the Democratic Party.
