WASHINGTON — A top prospect for the Supreme Court was a paid member of an advisory panel for the embattled investment firm Goldman Sachs, federal financial disclosures show.

Solicitor General Elena Kagan was a member of the Research Advisory Council of the Goldman Sachs Global Markets Institute, according to the financial disclosures she filed when President Obama appointed her last year to her current post. Kagan served on the Goldman panel from 2005 through 2008, when she was dean of Harvard Law School, and received a $10,000 stipend for her service in 2008, her disclosure forms show.

No doubt Ms. Lindsey will be falling in love with Ms. Elena and vote to confirm her.

Yeah sure looks like an election payback cronyism, seems like she has had a pretty nice ride to where she has landed. I also find it funny how they claim they can’t find any writinigs by her...I hear scanners and Lexis Nexis being worked over as we speak, she has tons of writings, we’ll see if the media goes blackout, no surprise there!
