U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman said he is “very impressed” after meeting earlier today with Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The two met for about 15 minutes.
“She is clearly well qualified and I think she’d be a great addition to the Supreme Court,” Bingaman said in a statement released by his office.
Sotomayor also met this afternoon with U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. Udall’s office said a statement was forthcoming.
New Mexico Democrats Bingaman and Udall are also both lawyers.
Hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee on the confirmation of Sotomayor begin in mid-July. Bingaman and Udall are not members of that committee.
