| Description | "Illinois Senate GOP candidate Rep. Mark Kirk announced Friday morning that if he were a senator, he would vote to confirm Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination.
"With regard to Solicitor General Kagan, I would support her nomination. Ms. Kagan appears to be modest and thoughtful not because she expected this nomination but because she is modest and thoughtful. Under the Constitution, only the President can make this nomination and Solicitor General Kagan is one of the more careful nominees he could have picked," Kirk said in a statement.
Kirk had been asked for several weeks about whether he would, if in the Senate, vote to confirm Kagan; he said he needed to study all of her written materials. Kagan's nomination passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee with only one GOP vote, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
