Cornyn also is the Republican point man for the 2010 Senate elections, charged with raising money and helping the GOP rebound from a defeat that handed Democrats a 60-seat, filibuster-resistant majority.
In Texas, he served on the state Supreme Court and as attorney general.
Cornyn has said he has questions about whether Sotomayor will uphold the Constitution's guarantees of equal protection and the right to keep and bear arms.
THE NOVICE
Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.
The former "Saturday Night Live" performer is now 100th out of 100 senators in seniority. Not a lawyer, he was awarded a committee seat almost as soon as he was sworn into office this past week.
His victory over Coleman after their eight-month recount battle is a trophy Democrats are eager to display. Franken had less than two weeks to prepare for these hearings. But as a veteran of the big stage, he just might fit right in.
