Congrats to Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)!  He has been chosen by his fellow Republicans to head the scrutiny of Dear Leader’s communist pick for the Supreme Court.

I trust he will be fair in his questions and guide his fellow Republicans to a vote for or against. 

When President Barack Obama sends Congress his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, the Republican leading the critique of his or her qualifications will be Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, one of the more conservative members on Capitol Hill.

After a few days of negotiations inside the GOP, Sessions’ fellow Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday endorsed naming him as the ranking minority member of the committee, and the full party caucus is scheduled to ratify the decision today.

With the appointment, Sessions shoots from the rank-and-file into a high-profile leadership role just in time for the heated national debate over who should be the next Supreme Court justice, replacing David Souter.  (Source)

We must also thank Sen. Arlen Specter for jumping ship to Sen. Sessions (a true conservative) can lead the way.  The minority party is actually in the power here, as at least one vote from the minority is required to approve a nominee.
