Mitt Romney's statement on the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court

Former Governor Mitt Romney today issued the following statement regarding the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court:

The nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court is troubling. Her public statements make it clear she has an expansive view of the role of the judiciary. Historically, the Court is where judges interpret the Constitution and apply the law. It should never be the place "where policy is made," as Judge Sotomayor has said. Like any nominee, she deserves a fair and thorough hearing. What the American public deserves is a judge who will put the law above her own personal political philosophy.
