"The same theme dominated his confirmation hearing 4 years later, when President Reagan nominated Judge Scalia to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

"Mr. President, earlier this week I spoke on the Senate floor, calling for the confirmation of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. I added my voice to a chorus of bipartisan praise for her qualifications and abilities to be a Supreme Court Justice, joining supporters such as Miguel Estrada, Assistant Solicitor General in the George H.W. Bush administration; former Solicitors General Kenneth Starr and Drew S. Days and a number of my Republican colleagues, including Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Judd Gregg. These voices across the political spectrum recognize Elena Kagan’s years of practical, pragmatic experience, and value, in the words of Professor Michael McConnell, director of the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School, her “fidelity to legal principle even when it means crossing her political and ideological allies.”"

"Madam President, later today, we will confirm an exceptionally well-qualified candidate to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and average Americans will be a step closer to once again having their voices heard in the highest Court in the land. This is because Solicitor General Elena Kagan brings both moderation and practical experience to a Court sorely in need of both."

"But today we are considering the nominee that the President chose, and she is an excellent choice. This week, I plan to cast my vote to confirm Solicitor General Kagan to be the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and I would encourage my colleagues to support her confirmation as well."
