Five republicans voted to approve Kagan, according to Politico: Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Lindsey Graham, Judd Gregg and Richard Lugar.
The Senate confirmed Elena Kagan to a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court in a vote of 63-37 Thursday.
Kagan, 50, is the fourth woman to serve on the Supreme Court, and her addition to the high court marks the first time three women justices have served at the same time. Kagan is not expected to tilt the ideological balance of the Supreme Court. She succeeds retired Justice John Paul Stevens, considered a reliable liberal voice on the court.
