Kagan wins Senate confirmation in mostly partisan vote, 13 to 6
2010-07-21
All Democrats on the committee voted in favor of Kagan, while all but one Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), voted against her. Graham, who was one of just nine Republicans who voted in favor of Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation last year, joined Democrats in voting in favor of Kagan.
Lindsey's still a few years out from having to run for reelection.
"No one spent more time trying to beat President Obama perhaps other than senator McCain," Graham said. "I understood that we lost, Sen. Obama won, and ....the Constitution requires me as a senator not to replace my judgment for his...or pick a fight with Ms. Kagan."

Graham also praised Kagan's performance during the hearing and predicted she would serve "honorably" even though he disagrees with her "liberal" views and would not have chosen her himself.

The full Senate is expected to approve Kagan's nomination with just a handful of centrist GOP votes; most likely later this month.

#6  There's no way a liberal judge is not going to be replaced by a liberal under this admin. and two dem houses of congress. Combine that with the fact that she's a woman and a dyke and it just wouldn't be fashionable not to seat her.
She can only vote yes or no to cases that come across the docket, she does not have the power to destroy the universe.

#5  America is over already. Look at your lawmakers.
This is a banana republic now.

I'm quoting this to point out that you're a damn moron, other than that you seem okay.

Cheers! Say hi to your nurse for me.

#2   even though he disagrees with her "liberal" views and would not have chosen her himself.

Then please explain why he's permitting her "liberal" views to soon be foisted upon us? If not good enough for him, why is it good enough for us?
