<p>WASHINGTON – The final action of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Supreme Court confirmation process – its Tuesday 13-6 favorable vote – drew smaller crowds than the confirmation hearings two weeks ago.</p>
<p> Rather than sitting at an imposingly high table at the far side of the room, the 19 committee members sat in the middle of the room, while voting to move Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the full Senate for a vote.</p>

<p> El 72% del pueblo Estadounidense apoya una fuerte opción pública del sistema médico que sea accesible a todos. La opción pública es buena para nuestras familias, para la recuperación económica, y cuenta con el apoyo del público Estadounidense. Conforme, el Congreso tome la acción necesaria para adelantar una reforma legislativa para el seguro de gastos médicos este verano, debemos incluir una opción pública fuerte y enlazada a una red federal de proveedores, como la red de Medicare.</p>

<p>It’s no secret that our economy is hurting. Here in Washington, the response has been predictable: increase federal spending. Beginning last fall and continuing through the spring, Congress has been spending at a feverish pace, highlighted by two massively expensive “stimulus bills” with a combined price tag of almost $1 trillion.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it’s not working.</p>

<p> No cabe duda que nuestra economía esta sufriendo. Aquí en Washington, D.C., la respuesta ha sido: gastar más y más. Empezando desde el otoño pasado y continuando durante toda esta primavera, el Congreso estadounidense ha estado gastando sin parar incluyendo dos carísimas medidas firmadas a ley con el propósito de “estimular” a la economía con una etiqueta de casi un millón de millones de dólares.</p>
<p> Desafortunadamente este acercamiento no está funcionando.</p>

<p> I’m baffled that some Republicans have viciously attacked Judge Sonia Sotomayor.</p>
<p> Too often I’ve heard Republicans talk about the lack of the so-called Protestant work ethic in minority communities and how if only poor minorities worked harder, pursued higher education and stopped depending on government welfare programs, then they, too, could achieve the American Dream.</p>
