Bloomberg reports Senator Ben Nelson has heard his constituents concerns and “will not vote to confirm Elena Kagan.”
Briefly quoting the linked Bloomberg item: “Nelson said he had heard “concerns” from people in Nebraska about Kagan.”
Of course, Nelson is already in trouble with his constituents over his ObamaCare vote. But if a hard line Democrat who put his career on the line to vote for ObamaCare can be persuaded to reject Elena Kagan, almost every Democratic Senator can be switched by voter pressure.
That is why it is critically important that you make a call to your Senators. Enough calls can switch Democrats, and enough calls can stiffen Republican opposition. It would only take another handful of switched votes and Kagan will be another failed nominee.
And we will not have a radical anti-gun activist on the Supreme Court for thirty or more years.
