The Senate Judiciary Committee “will vote July 20 on Elena Kagan’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat,” Bloomberg reports.
“I would hope to complete it and vote that day,” Leahy said today in Washington. “I think everybody’s made up their mind” on how to vote.
“I think we are cooperating in a fair way to move this nominee forward,” said ranking Republican Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who requested a week’s delay in the vote.
Democratic leaders “plan to schedule a confirmation vote in the full Senate before lawmakers’ month-long August recess.”
