thx for lookin' out for the ladies, barack.

WASHINGTON — President Obama will nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan as the nation’s 112th justice, choosing his own chief advocate before the Supreme Court to join it in ruling on cases critical to his view of the country’s future, Democrats close to the White House said Sunday.

After a monthlong search, Mr. Obama informed Ms. Kagan and his advisers on Sunday of his choice to succeed the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. He plans to announce the nomination at 10 a.m. Monday in the East Room of the White House with Ms. Kagan by his side, said the Democrats, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the decision before it was formally made public.

did you know that if kagan is confirmed, there won't be any protestants on the court? 3 j's and 6 c's. she'll be the youngest judge at 50 bears old, and will bring the lady count to 3. straight up taco party! she's only the 4th lady to be nominated. ever!

my favorite story about her is that when she was the dean of harvard law, she refused to let military recruiters operate on campus, in protest of the don't-ask-don't-tell policy. you go, girl.
