Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson, America's Most Annoying Senator, will vote against Elena Kagan, because -- well, the "reason" he gives is completely unimportant, because he is just voting against her to prove that he is not a socialist, like the president.
Nelson will vote for cloture, though, so this is an entirely symbolic gesture, and what it symbolizes is, "Ben Nelson is an obnoxious political coward."
