The U.S. Senate today confirmed the appointment of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court, but not without complaints from nearly every Republican opposing her nomination about her actions concerning Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
The vote was 63 to 37, with only five Republicans voting for Kagan and one Democrat voting against.
The Senate’s newest Republican member, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, voted against Kagan.
