The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 13-6 on Tuesday to confirm Elena Kagan and move her Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham was the only Republican to vote for her. "I'm going to vote for her because I believe the last election had consequences," Graham said.

The full Senate will take up her nomination in early August.
