Her name was in the hopper the last time around, and finally, Президент Оба́ма has put forth Елена Каган to succeed retiring Associate Justice John Paul Stevens.
Everything else aside…and I mean, everything…Каган is the current Solicitor General of the United States. While she has legal experience, it hasn’t come in the form of judicial rulings. She’s never been a judge, the first such nominee in over 40 years (the last one being William Rehnquist). So I don’t necessarily hold that against her. On the other hand, President Bush’s first SCOTUS nominee, Harriet Myers, didn’t have that judicial experience either.
Which means Каган is a blank slate, ready to do Оба́ма‘s bidding: browbeating Justice Kennedy into voting for her side of the aisle. I’ll bet her constituents are ecstatic. I hope the GOP fights this nomination!

She’s another stealth candidate if you ask me. Like Obama, her record seems scant, for a reason

I hear she’s far from being stealth…knowhutImean?
