NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker says he will vote against Elana Kagan's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Tennessee senator said in a news release Friday that her actions and her record suggest she believes it is appropriate to use the court "to achieve a political end."
Corker said he met with President Barack Obama's nominee in his office in June and found her to be highly intelligent.
But he said he doesn't believe the court is the appropriate vehicle for activism.
