The cost of Kagan's confirmation (OneNewsNow.com): "The Senate on Thursday confirmed Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, making her the fourth female to serve on the nation's highest court. The 50-year-old Harvard Law School graduate is scheduled to be sworn in Saturday (August 7). While Kagan's confirmation isn't a surprise for most, the possible backlash some lawmakers may face as a result of their vote could be.



On a Senate vote of 63-37 Kagan was expectedly awarded the top jurist job to the Supreme Court. Bob Knight, senior writer for Coral Ridge Ministries and senior fellow for American Civil Rights Union, says those who voted to confirm Kagan could pay a heavy price in the mid-term elections.

'Sixty-three senators are going to have to answer to their constituents why they put on the U.S. Supreme Court a woman who altered a report by physicians that said -- and I'll sum it up -- that there really aren't any circumstances to justify a partial-birth abortion,' Knight explains. 'She made it say in some circumstances it may be the best single way to save a life of a mother.'

That modified report, according to Knight's column on Thursday -- 'The Kagan moral train wreck' -- was used as 'falsified evidence' in a Supreme Court case and amounts to 'fraud, plain and simple' on the part of the nominee.
