The Senate will begin debate Tuesday on the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.
The Bronx native is expected to be easily confirmed, because of the Democratic majority and support from six Republicans.
If confirmed, she would become the first Hispanic justice to the high court and would replace retiring Justice David Souter.
Sotomayor's confirmation vote could come before the Senate adjourns at the end of the week.
NY1 will have live coverage of the vote when it happens.
