(May 11, 2010) President Obama's pick for the Supreme Court, Solicitor-General Elena Kagan, is proving to be a bit of a mystery--she's never sat on the judicial bench and has a limited paper trail on the controversial issues on which she'll be expected to rule. And in a bit of local excitement, the Ruth Institute has attracted the tolerant and reasonable attention of the Daily Kos. Dr J and Todd Wilken discuss these developments in a segment of Issues, Etc.
Other Supreme Court justices haven\'t had a judicial career either. How do you know she will be \"out in left field?\" Please provide some substantive background we can read. Thank you.
