Скачать или смотреть Lindsey Graham on Kagan Nomination

Citing the Constitution and historical role played by the Senate in Supreme Court confirmations, Lindsey Graham announces he will support Elena Kagan.

"No one spent more time trying to beat President Obama than I did, except maybe Senator [John] McCain. But I understood we lost. ....the Constitution, in my view, puts a requirement on me as a senator to not replace my judgment for his, not to think of the 100 reasons I would pick somebody differently, or pick a fight with Ms. Kagan. It puts upon me a standard that stood the test of time, is the person qualified? Is it a person of good character? Are they someone that understands the difference between being a judge and a politician? And, quite frankly, I think she's passed all those tests."
