WASHINGTON — Republican Senator Susan Collins said Friday that she would vote to confirm Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court justice, breaking with her party to back President Barack Obama's nominee.
Collins announcement made her the third GOP senator to support Obama's choice to succeed retired Justice John Paul Stevens. It doesn't alter the positive outlook for Kagan in the Senate, where she was already well on track to be confirmed in early August by majority Democrats and a handful of Republican moderates.
The Maine lawmaker said in a statement that Kagan has "the intellect, experience, temperament and integrity" to serve honorably on the high court.
That said, I hate the way the Dems are just automatically accepting Kagan. I'm not surprised but there goes any hopes of a liberal majority on the court for at least a generation.
Good to see some old style people in the Senate who can put partisan politics aside in between elections.
Even if it means supporting someone who has no regard for the Constitution of United States, our our unalienable rights, as set forth in the the Declaration of Independence, right?
You're amazing. You have no idea who this woman is. She is the last person who should be given a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court! This is disgusting.
I hope the people of Maine remember this come November. So tired of traitors running this country. They care about nothing except money and power.
