WASHINGTON — Sen. Lindsey Graham gave a guardedly positive reaction Monday to President Barack Obama’s choice of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to serve on the Supreme Court while stopping short of a full endorsement.

Sen. Jim DeMint said he's troubled that Kagan hasn't been a judge, but the Greenville, S.C., Republican withheld final judgment until he learns more about her during confirmation hearings.

Graham, a Seneca, S.C., Republican, and DeMint split on Obama’s first Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor.

Graham was one of nine Republican senators who voted last August to confirm Sotomayor as the first Hispanic justice. DeMint joined 30 other GOP senators in opposing her.

Well, Plain will endorse him and then hundreds of freepers will consider him a rock ribbed conservative. Look at the Carly fan club that has sprung up.

DeMint won’t. But the rest of the senate probably will.

“Goober likes her gay rights activism.”

Wrong, again. It’s because Miss Pansy Graham believes girls should stick together.

What a wuss. Somewhere, there’s got to be pictures of this idiot doing the unspeakable with someone. He’s beyond RINO.

Thank you. He cannot be ditched soon enough. I was in South Carolina a few weeks ago and asked how he ever got elected. The folks I asked said they couldn’t explain.

DeMint will confirm Kagan and freepers will consider him a ribbed conservative. Hell, he endorsed Romney and folks still think he's a bastion of conservatism! /s

I think its shameful you're using endorsements to slam conservatives, esp. since your boy- regardless of who was left in the race- endorsed Huckabee.

Graham is Jimmy Carter redux---he never met a bad idea he could not embrace.
