Elena Kagan, Solicitor General of the United States, is to be named as successor to liberal stalwart Justice John Paul Stevens as early as today by President Barack Obama.
Kagan, 50, a New York native, has been widely reported to be the front-runner for the nomination. She was a finalist for the high court vacancy last year when Justice Sonia Sotomayor was selected to replace the retiring David Souter. If confirmed, Kagan would be the third woman on the nine-justice bench and the fourth in the history of the court.

What, Neapolitan the lesbo home de-fense secretary needed a boyfriend/girlfriend?
First he appointed a Hispanic/gay, now a he/she gay?
What next?
No, I think he is one of the actors on Mad TV.
A bitter commie dyke that has never sat on the bench as a judge?
Now we have Rodney Dangerfield in drag.
I sure hope this turns out to be Oblunders “Harriet Miers”.
Sad to say you are correct.
No kidding.
What is it about the correlation between democrats and sideshow freaks?
Isn’t it great to know that latino racists and bull dyke lesbians are in charge of our court systems? What a sick world we live in.
Damn right SCOTUS is becoming a damn kangaroo court.
What my mother used to politely call a "confirmed bachelor"....
I seem to remember the left just about having a collective aneurysm over the Harriet Myers nomination due to the fact that she had never been a judge. I guess I wont hold my breath for similar outrage from them this time with an equally unqualified nominee.
She looks like “Chaz” Bono.

Elena Kagans most notable foray into public life was kicking military recruiters off of Harvards campus

Elena Kagans most notable foray into public life was kicking military recruiters off of Harvards campus.
President Obamas latest choice for the Supreme Court has held a number of high-profile jobs over the years, but she has left a relatively thin paper trail, with one major exception. As the dean of Harvards law school, Kagan fought to bar military recruiters from the universitys campus. Her reasoning? Even with two wars in progress, she contended, Dont Ask, Dont Tell should disqualify the US military from having any association with the school. I abhor the militarys discriminatory recruitment policy, she said, describing it as a moral injustice of the first order.
Critics say Kagans legal arguments on the matter are so preposterous that they raise doubts about her ability to serve on the bench. And indeed when the Supreme Court later rejected her position on military recruiting at Harvard, it did so unanimously.
Beginning in 2004, Kagan changed established Harvard policy and barred recruiters from the schools career center. The Pentagon responded by invoking the Solomon Amendment, a 1994 law that explicitly requires universities that receive federal funding to allow military representatives at least as much access to campus as any other group. With Harvards $400 million in annual grants on the line, Kagan was forced to surrender.
But she kept fighting. Kagan and the university filed an amicus brief arguing that Harvards policy did not amount to discrimination against the military. The university, claimed the brief, does not single out military recruiters for disfavored treatment: Military recruiters are subject to exactly the same terms and conditions of access as every other employer.
“First we had a wise latina, now we’ll have a what????”
Here is a clue:
“Obama Will Pick That Rumored Lesbian Elena Kagan for Supreme Court”
“Kagan became dean of the law school in 2003. ‘’The military policy that we at the law school are overlooking is terribly wrong, terribly wrong in depriving gay men and lesbians of the opportunity to serve their country,’’ she said shortly after becoming dean at the law school’s first reunion for its gay, lesbian and bisexual alumni. Later, as the issue intensified with protests on campus, she wrote in an e-mail message to students and faculty, ‘’I abhor the military’s discriminatory recruitment policy.”
I am sure the repubs will fight this nominee every step of the way.....
Separated at birth??
Is this a guy trying to look like a woman or a woman tryin to look like a man?
It is Os Harriet Meyers moment
