Sotomayor confirmation hearing ends today

US Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is undergoing a final day of questioning at her Senate confirmation hearing.



The Senate Judiciary Committee is also calling witnesses to question them about her record as a judge.



A full Senate vote is expected in early August.



If confirmed Ms Sotomayor will be the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice.



During the questioning this week, she vigorously defended her impartiality as a judge.



She has also been careful in responses to questions about any major issue that could come before her as a justice, such as abortion and gun law.



The Democrats have enough votes to block any Republican attempts to stop her confirmation.
