Snowe (R-ME) comes out for Kagan

[WI_DEM]

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) today became the fourth GOPer to announce she will support Solicitor Gen. Elena Kagan's SCOTUS nomination when the Senate votes next week. Snowe joins her fellow Mainer, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), in crossing the aisle to vote for Kagan.

"Throughout my tenure in the Senate, I have applied a uniform standard for evaluating nominees for the United States Supreme Court, under both Republican and Democratic administrations," Snowe said in a statement. "I find that Ms. Kagan has met that standard with the strong intellect, respect for the rule of law, and understanding of the important but limited role of the Supreme Court that I believe is required of any Justice."
