According to BNA, “with one Republican vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee July 20 voted 13-6 to approve the nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan as an associate justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) as the lone GOP member to support her.”
Graham remarked before the committee vote that, “I believe the last election had consequences and this president chose someone who is qualified, who has the experience and knowledge to serve on this court, who is in the mainstream of liberal philosophy and understand the difference between being a judge and a politician.”
