Elena Kagan is all but certain to be confirmed as the newest U.S. Supreme Court justice, likely within a month. The votes of a small group of senators will largely determine the margin.

The views of a pair of new Republican senators are unknown, while opposition to Kagan by the National Rifle Association is focusing attention on Democrats who favor gun rights.
