Sonia Sotomayor has completed three rounds of questioning from members of the Judiciary Committee, which is now hearing from five panels of outside witnesses testifying for and against the Supreme Court nominee.

Sotomayor left Room 216 of the Hart Senate Office Building shortly before 1:30 p.m. after four-days of grilling and testimony.

Each of the 31 witnesses will be given five minutes in which to make a statement. Senators also will be given time to question those witnesses.

First up was Kim Askew, chair of the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, and Mary Boies, a member of that same ABA committee.
