The Woman Who Knew Too Much

By Anne Skove, Esq.

She's waaaay too smart!

Not enough judicial experience!

Softball player -- bad news!

The truth about Elena Kagan is that being too smart was never a hurdle to a job as SCOTUS Justice. When it becomes one, we're all in trouble.

Experience? Solicitor General is a pretty good start. Keep in mind that the current Chief spent fewer than two years as a judge before being appointed for his good looks and celebrity co-stars.

Being dean of the University of Chicago of the East's law school is an admirable gig. Deans have to get people to work together, raise funds, and maintain academic cred for themselves and for their school. Clerking for the likes of Justice Marshall and Judge Mikva helps, too.

We're sure she can figure out how the robe goes on all by herself.

And softball? Well, half of court-o-rama would probably prefer a Twins player (or perhaps a Doublemint Twin), but we work with what we're given. The other half could not care less! Softball? Really? That's all ya got?
