Bennett Statement Opposing Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan

WASHINGTON, D.C. – After thoroughly reviewing her testimony at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings this week, Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) issued the following statement today announcing his intent to vote against the nomination of Elena Kagan to serve on the United States Supreme Court:

“I have great respect for Senator Hatch’s judgment. I am impressed by the thoroughness of his questioning during the hearing and have withheld my judgment until after the hearings were over. I agree that many of the things in Ms. Kagan’s background are troublesome and justify a negative vote.”
