Sen Lindsey Graham (R-SC): I’m voting for Kagan

Republican Graham a 'yes' on Kagan

(By Carrie Dann, NBC News) - Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Tuesday that he will support the nomination of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, likely making him the only GOP member of the Senate Judiciary Committee to back Obama’s pick for the high court.

"I'm going to vote for her because I believe the last election had consequences," he said. "This president chose someone who is qualified, who has the experience and knowledge to serve on this court ... and understands the difference between being a liberal judge and a politician."

Ultimately, "it was not a hard decision for me to make," he said.
