i know that as a result of a tripping at la guardia, broke a small bone in her ankle. she flew to d.c. it was look at when she got here and she was advised to get x- rays, which she did. she spent a couple hours getting a cast, and the last time i saw video up on capitol hill, she is continuing to meet with senators as part of her meetings surrounding her nomination. i think she has six meetings skill today and she will make all six -- i think she has six meetings scheduled today and she will make all six. >> will you sign the cast? >> i think i will. maybe we can get senators to sign. >> now that the the president has defended his position on the middle east, will he follow through? >> hollen, we have said this to route the past several days. i do not look at his alma reach as having started in the speech and it is not going to and as part of that speech. going all the way back to the beginning of the administration, in ensuring that the this administration was involved early on in the middle east peace process, the president talked about that as being a high priority

she had an unfortunate mishap and broke her ankle at la guardia airport so i allowed her to use my conference room upstairs on the third floor and there was a steady parade of senators coming in to meet her. i asked her this morning, she said well, i've seen 61 senators and i have 6 more today. she may break a record meeting with senators than most supreme court nominees. but she's doing her level bess to do herself and answer any questions that senators have. i think and i told the president when i saw him an event today that he made an extraordinary choice. judge sotomayor served the district court by george herbert walker bush she was promoted to bill clinton to a higher level court, the circuit court and now is being nominated for supreme court service. she has more experience on the federal bench than any nominee in 100 years so she's going to be no neophyte, if she's fortunate enough to serve on the court. she's a woman with an extraordinary life story, having grown up in the bronx in public housing. her father died when she was 9 years old. her mother raised her and her younger brother
