  • Commentary posted August 6, 2010 by Robert Alt, Deborah O'Malley Now Well See What Kagan Really Thinks About Issues

    On Thursday the Senate confirmed Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court. Given her hostility to certain enumerated constitutional rights and her penchant for using foreign laws to rule on U.S. constitutional law, there is good reason to think she'll be well out of the mainstream as a justice. During her hearing, Kagan refused to state her views of the Second…
