President Obama plans to nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan to be the 112th justice of the Supreme Court, a source said late Sunday night. Kagan, 50, the former dean of Harvard Law School, would become the fourth woman to serve on the high court; if confirmed, it would mean that three women would serve on the nine-member court for the first time.

Kagan is the government's top appellate lawyer and representative at the Supreme Court. She was confirmed last year by the Senate in a 61 to 31 vote, and was the first woman confirmed to hold the job.

#1 never been a judge, few writings to parse, looks like Paul Blart, and more importantly opposed military recruiters and ROTC on campus based on "DADT" (she's a lesbian). Perfect. Expect her to rope-a-dope her answers to look middle-of-the-road on the surface. She's a lefty radical. Oppose her

#3 Of course she's a lefty radical, she's nominated by Obama. She is also less left and less radical than we will get if she is not confirmed.
And she has not been a judge, unlike such wise (sarc) judges as David Souter, who gave us Kelo vs. New London.

#4 She looks like Michael Meyers with a bad haircut; he is going to make a ton of fun with this.

#6 yep, she's so smart - evidently thinks that the military arbitrarilly and unilaterally created the DADT policy w/out civilian oversight from the then C-in-C...didn't she work for Clinton at one point? Moron.

#7 #6 Kagan was one of Clinton's Appeals Court nominees that never received an up-or-down vote. After Bush took office he nominated John Roberts for the post.
