Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., announced Wednesday afternoon that he intends to vote against the nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan for the U.S. Supreme Court.

“I have personally interviewed Ms. Kagan, and I have carefully followed the Judiciary Committee hearings as well as her testimony,” Isakson said in a news release. “After thorough consideration, I have determined that I will not vote for her confirmation.”
