U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., met this afternoon with Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama’s nominee for U.S. Supreme Court, following a missed meeting last week.

In a statement, Sen. Corker said he enjoyed his meeting with the judge, but said he is “reserving judgment on her nomination until the conclusion of a fair and thorough hearings process.”

Sen. Corker said Friday he missed a scheduled meeting with Judge Sotomayor because she was late.
