Patrick J. Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said again Tuesday that conservative attacks on Sonia Sotomayor "makes it imperative" to schedule her confirmation hearing as soon as possible.
Leahy, D-Vt., made a similar point when he appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" on May 31 and it appears that's the argument he will use should he decide to schedule a hearing earlier than Republicans would like.
Leahy said he will meet Wednesday with Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the committee's top Republican, to talk about timing.
