Kagan on way to Supreme Court confirmation

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan appears on her way to confirmation on the nation’s highest court, with Republicans showing little interest in a long-shot filibuster attempt after three days of grueling testimony over abortion, gays in the military and other divisive issues. The powerful National Rifle Association attempted to spark interest in Kagan’s defeat today coming out against her, by saying she “has repeatedly demonstrated a clear hostility to the fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution.”
