"This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court. Kagan is the most radical person ever nominated for the Supreme Court.
Our friends at the Center for Security Policy have come up with a great ad against Kagan. Please take the time to watch the
Keep calling the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee. The committee rules state that there must be at one member of the minority party voting for the nominee for the nomination to go to the full Senate."

If you're still not convinced Kagan is unfit to serve a lifetime appointment to the United States Supreme Court
Senate Judiciary Rule IV states: "If there is objection to bring the matter to a vote without further debate, a roll call vote of the Committee shall be taken, and debate shall be terminated if the motion to bring the matter to a vote without further debate passes with ten votes in the affirmative, one of which must be cast by the minority."
In other words, Elena Kagan needs at least one lukewarm Republican on the committee to vote for her and the nomination will go to the full Senate. Given his ambiguous remarks, there is growing concern that Senator Graham will be the only Republican vote on the Committee to vote for Kagan.
Please call Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC, 202-224-5972) and ask him to "Please vote against the nomination of Elena Kagan. She is not qualified for the US Supreme Court. She does not represent the values of Massachusetts, nor the nation. Thank you."
Should Kagan’s nomination advance, it can still be stopped by a filibuster, or by a full Senate vote. That’s why we’re asking that you:
Call Senator Scott Brown at 202-224-4543, or 617-565-3170, and ask that he oppose Kagan’s nomination. Ask that he filibuster her nomination if necessary, in order to stop it.
