Final Vote Count for Sotomayor
The results are in: 68 in favor of Sotomayor (59 Democrats and 9 Republicans). This is one vote higher than expected earlier today as Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) makes only his second visit to the Senate floor since June in order to vote in favor of Sotomayor. (He is in frail health and 91 years old -- he is also currently the longest serving Senator in the chamber.)
