An aide to Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins says Collins will vote for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.Spokesman Ian Swanberg says Collins is preparing a statement detailing her support for President Barack Obama's first high court nominee. Sotomayor is in line to become the first Hispanic and third woman justice.
Collins becomes the fourth Republican to say publicly she'll break with her party's conservative leaders to support Sotomayor. The federal appeals court judge is expected to win confirmation easily in a Senate vote early next month.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a vote on Sotomayor's nomination for later Tuesday, but panel Republicans are expected to block the action and force a one-week delay.
MAINE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED BY THEIR TWO RINOS IN THE SENATE. CLUELESS. NO PRINCIPLES. VOTE COLLINS AND SNOWE OUT!

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
