Lindsey Graham:Senator Graham Grills Judge Sonia Sotomayor – Lindsey Graham is making headlines for asking Sonia Sotomayor some very tough questions today.Judge Sonia Sotomayor appeared Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee,the second day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearings where she was grilled and baked by senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina.Graham asked:

OK. Now, let’s talk about you. I like you, by the way, for whatever that matters. Since I may vote for you that ought to matter to you. One thing that stood out about your record is that when you look at the almanac of the federal judiciary, lawyers anonymously rate judges in terms of temperament. And here’s what they said about you. She’s a terror on the bench. She’s temperamental, excitable, she seems angry. She’s overall aggressive, not very judicial. She does not have a very good temperament. She abuses lawyers. She really lacks judicial temperament. She believes in an out — she behaves in an out-of-control manner. She makes inappropriate outbursts. She’s nasty to lawyers. She will attack lawyers for making an argument she does not like. She can be a bit of a bully. When you look at the evaluation of the judges on the Second Circuit, you stand out like a sore thumb in terms of your temperament. What is your answer to these criticisms?

You can watch the entire exchange after the jump.
