Baby, it's cold inside

Our reporters and the audience are braving chilly temperatures as they watch Sotomayor's testimony.

AP's Nancy Benac sent this on @AP_Courtside from the hearing room: "It is so cold in here that I am wearing Mark Sherman's sweater and sitting on my toes." #sotoshow

(Sherman is an AP Supreme Court reporter who luckily didn't have to brave the chill. He was working elsewhere.)

Also seen on @AP_Courtside was Jesse J. Holland's observation: "You can't tell on TV, but it's freezing cold in the Hart building. Some people have shawls and sweaters on to stay warm."

Twitter user @Kbeninato had a suggestion for Benac: "Get her a Snuggy!"
