An Article on Kagan

If you're following the news about President Obama's Supreme Court nomination (Elana Kagan), you have probably found out that there isn't a lot to find out about her. It seems that no one either celebrated or dreaded her nomination. Of course there's the usual gossip, she's a woman who was nominated by a black president, so she's sure to destroy this country. Other than that, all anyone seems to know is: she's a woman (automatic 10 points), she is evidently gifted at bringing liberals and conservatives closer together on issues (is this even possible?), and she was never a judge but still seems about as qualified for this position as a person could be. As for the burning question on my mind, her stance on abortion, there seems to be little to no information about her. I can't decide if I'm worried or not. Read more here in an article from Choice USA.
