Kagan to be Supreme Court nominee, sources say

Today at 10 am President Obama is expected to nominate Elena Kagan to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. Kagan is currently the solicitor general. Last year though she was a finalist to be nominated for justice as well. However, Sonia Sotomayer just nominated instead. If Kagan is nominated and made Justice she the third women presently on the bench and will only be the fourth women in the history of the court. However, Kagan only has practiced two years in private law and has no judicial experience. Yet again she is know for being able to smoothly work through problems and respected by many people in Washington.

I think it would be nice to have another woman in the Supreme Court. It seems that she is liked by many people. My only concern is that she doesn't have much experience. However, I think that if nominated she will easily be able to pick up the necessary traits. I do think that Kagan is likely the person that Obama will nominate because the media normally has a good grasp of what's happening in Washington.
