Senate Week

In honor of the Senate judiciary committee hearings for Sonia Sotomayor, we’re going to be featuring the members of the judiciary committee up for reelection in 2010.

Tom Petri

Tom Petri of Wisconsin’s 6th district since 1979 (16 terms) continues the state’s penchant for re-electing republican attorneys. He might also be considered a RINO, which may be what it takes to stay in office.

Jim Sensenbrenner

Jim Sensenbrenner is one of the rare republicans in the top 25. Having served Wisconsin’s 5th district since 1979 (16 terms) is proof that Wisconsin is politically equal opportunity.
