Solicitor General, and former Dean of Harvard Law School Elena Kagan will be nominated tomorrow by President Obama to replace Justice John Paul Stevens.
There is much consternation on the left over this pick. Concern over her ties with Goldman Sachs, as well as her preference for executive privilege. I understand those on the left who expressed a preference for Judge Diane Wood from the 7th Circuit. However, I believe that Kagan is a strong, safe choice who not only fits with the President's vision of a Justice, but will serve as a strong, liberal voice on the Court for years to come.
