Crossing political boundaries

Graham's decision had been closely watched as an important barometer of whether Sotomayor, President Barack Obama's first Supreme Court nominee, would attract strong bipartisan support.

"I would not have chosen her if I had made this choice as president," the conservative Graham said in a Senate speech, "but I understand why President Obama did choose her, and I'm happy to vote for her."
