Elena Kagan has officially been confirmed as the 112th United States Supreme Court Justice and I am pleased to report that close to 90% of our Republican Senator's opposed her Nomination, which is something special when you take into account the lack of judicial filibuster's or even opposition by Republicans in a historical or present sense to Supreme Court Nominee's.
Here's the Senate Republican Roll Call on Elena Kagan:
Senator Alexander - Nay.
Senator Barrasso - Nay.
Senator Bennett - Nay.
Senator Kit Bond - Nay.
Senator Brown - Nay.
Senator Brownback - Nay.
Senator Bunning - Nay.
Senator Burr - Nay.
Senator Chambliss - Nay.
Senator Coburn - Nay.
Senator Cochran - Nay.
Senator Collins - Yea.
Senator Corker - Nay.
Senator Cornyn - Nay.
Senator Crapo - Nay.
Senator DeMint - Nay.
Senator Ensign - Nay.
Senator Enzi - Nay.
Senator Graham - Yea.
Senator Grassley - Nay.
Senator Gregg - Yea.
Senator Hatch - Nay.
Senator Hutchison - Nay.
Senator Inhofe - Nay.
Senator Isakson - Nay.
Senator Johanns - Nay.
Senator Jon Kyl - Nay.
Senator LeMieux - Nay.
Senator Lugar - Yea.
Senator McCain - Nay.
Senator McConnell - Nay.

Senator Roberts - Nay.
Senator Sessions - Nay.
Senator Shelby - Nay.
Senator Snowe - Yea.
Senator Thune - Nay.
Senator Vitter - Nay.
Senator Voinovich - Nay.
Senator Wicker - Nay.
36 Republicans voted no, only 5 Republicans voted yes. And if you remember as I do, close to a dozen Republicans supported Sonia Sotomayor last summer, while a majority (29) opposed, and I have just one more thing to note on this subject: Senator Nelson was the only Democrat to oppose Kagan.
Any thoughts as to how our Republican dissidents should be handled?
