Leahy: If Moses Were Nominated, Republicans Would Object, Ask For Birth Certificate

Following President Barack Obama's nomination of Solictor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court Monday, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) predicted that there will be some Republican opposition. Leahy quipped that if President Obama had nominated Moses for the Supreme Court, there would still be those who would object and raise questions over his birth certificate.

Leahy added that he is confident that Kagan will be confirmed after the Senate looks at her qualifications. (0:37)
