Kagan On The Brink Of Ascension

Senate Republicans have long argued that Elena Kagan’s political activisim would hinder her abilities to make unbiased, impartial decisions as a prospective Supreme Court Justice.

Now, with Elena Kagan’s confirmation set in stone, she is on the cusp of becoming just the 4th woman to ascend to the bench of the United States Supreme Court as the Senate is preparing to vote on her ascension before the end of the week.

A majority of the Senate’s Democrats, two Independents and a handful of Republicans are expected to back the former Solicitor General. The vote marks one of the Senate’s last major actions before August’s month-long break.
