David Corn reports that Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court has now been endorsed by none other than...Ken Starr!

That's right. The Republican former independent counsel who relentlessly pursued the impeachment of Bill Clinton, first over a business deal and then a sex scandal, is in favor of Sotomayor's confirmation, and even said he's spoken to a number of unnamed Senators and told them he supports her.

Starr said he's met Sotomayor before, when she's twice participated in a program for judicial clerks at Pepperdine University, where he is the dean. "She was a huge hit with the students," said Starr.
