what? is there other pressing issues in front of the committee that precludes their addressing the nomination? the answer is no.
roberts was nominated on september 6, and he was voted on and approved by the judiciary committee on september 22, confirmed by the senate on september 29. this was based on bush requesting the confirmation so roberts could be in place by the beginning of the court's session in october.
there certainly is no reason that sotomayor should take any longer to confirm.
