Supreme Court vacancy

So, per our discussion yesterday, I think this clip gives some sense of why representation on the Court matters regardless of the outcome of the cases. Read the language of the opinion in Gonzalez v Carhart and then watch Pamela Karlan comment on the case and imagine the conferences on the merits of future cases if she were to be nominated to the Court.

Elena Kagan Will Be Obama's Supreme Court Pick: Mike Allen

According to Mike Allen of the Politico, who is considered to be Cheney's stenographer, Kagan is considered to be Pres. Obama's top choice. This is the best thing reigh-wing can hope for. She is very conservative on issue that will likly come up before the SCOTUS. I hope she in not his choice.
