Senator Scott Brown is voting against confirming the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. Five Republicans are voting in favor of Kagan, who should be confirmed later today. Brown, a lawyer in the National Guard, said his no vote is based on her lack of experience as a judge which he says makes it hard to grasp how courtroom decisions "affect the day-to-day lives of American citizens..." Wearing a funny black robe and sitting behind a gigantic desk, like so many people do, makes you understand people better? Interesting. We realize Kagan was picked, in part, because a judicial track record just gives detractors a paper trail to pick apart. We think President Obama was trying to avoid a messy confirmation fight by picking her. Pick the fight sometimes. [WCVB]
