Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), anticipating that Elena Kagan’s Supreme Court nomination will make it out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has announced he will vote against her when she comes up for a vote on the floor.
McConnell said he opposed Kagan because he felt she had too extensive a record as a political advocate.
“I do not have confidence that if she were confirmed to a lifetime position on the Supreme Court she would suddenly constrain the ardent political advocacy that has marked much of her adult life,” he said in a press release. “The American people expect a justice who will impartially apply the law, not one who will be a rubberstamp for the Obama administration or any other administration.”
McConnell is the third senator to publicly announce his vote against Kagan. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) announced earlier today that he will vote against Kagan as a member of the Judiciary Committee. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) announced he would oppose Kagan back on May 10 — the day President Obama nominated her.

Many people like playing basketball as you. How do you choose your basketball shoes? I think many more choices are thejordans shoes, as you? Yeah, maybe you may not, but I know more people like it. Each of the jordan shoe has been created for perfection. Each one is unique and different from the others. The hallmark of all jordans cant be summed up in a single word, because these are high-performance, state-of-the-art aerodynamic jordan retro shoes that are not just comfortable to wear but also are extremely durable. If you are an aspiring basketball player then the jordans shoes are the best shoes you can have and you can even wear these shoes for out of court activities as well. Thats what makes a Jordan so unique!
