For any SCOTUS nominee to be moved out of the Senate Judiciary Committee for a vote in the full Senate, at least ONE member of the minority party on the committee must vote in the affirmative.UPDATE: The Hotline website has posted a running "whip count" of votes on the Kagan nomination.
In other words, if all seven Republican Senators on the committee vote against Kagan's confirmation, then she will not be confirmed.
It's just that simple.
Please contact all seven Republican Senators on the Judiciary Committee (and especially Sen. Kyl) to let them know that you oppose Kagan's confirmation. (Much thanks to Kagan for the info)
If enough people contact these Senators, they will pay attention to us.
The fate of our country is in YOUR hands.
