“After a careful and considered review of Elena Kagan’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, her overall record, and my personal meeting with her, I have concluded (she) should be confirmed,” Snowe said. "I find that Ms. Kagan has ... 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."

Snowe joins U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in supporting the nomination by President Barack Obama, a Democrat.
