Senators praised Supreme Court nominee Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Monday as a cautious judge who is unlikely to push an ideological agenda on the high court.

“Judge Ginsburg’s judicial record and style mark her as a true consensus candidate” who also understands “what liberty and equality mean,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) told colleagues.

Ginsburg appeared all but certain to win confirmation in the Senate vote scheduled for today. The 60-year-old federal appellate judge and former women’s rights advocate is the first high court nominee by a Democratic President in more than a quarter-century. She would replace retired Justice Byron R. White.
