WASHINGTON (July 28, 2010)--Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, says she plans to vote to confirm Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court justice.
Snowe is the fourth Republican to break with her party to back President Barack Obama's high court nominee.
In a statement, Snowe says Kagan has met her standards for a justice with her strong intellect, respect for the rule of law and understanding of the Supreme Court's important but limited role.
She also said endorsements from conservative lawyers show that Kagan has a reputation for a sound judicial temperament.
Democrats have more than enough votes to confirm Kagan in a vote expected next week.
Most Republicans oppose her, arguing she would bring a liberal bias to the bench.

Olympia Snowe is a Republican in name only. She should switch parties. How anyone can support Nobamacare and Kagan and call themselves a Republican is beyond me.

Senator Snowe only cares about Kagan for two reasons: one, she is a woman, and two, she is very much for STRICT gun control. I still don't see how Senator Snowe can claim to be a Republican when she always goes out of her way to act like a Demoncrat!

I wish Ms. Snowe would just switch and call herself a Democrat. She votes with them most of the time anyway. At least then we would all know what she is.
