: Breaking Legal NewsGOP Sen. Lugar to support Kagan for Supreme Court

Republican Sen. Richard Lugar says he'll vote to confirm Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court justice.

Lugar says he's carefully followed Kagan's confirmation hearing testimony and the debate about her nomination, including recommendations from his constituents, and concluded that she is clearly qualified to serve on the high court.
