Solicitor General Elena Kagan is busy this week being grilled by Senators in confirmation hearings before being rubber-stamped into theUnited States Supreme Court. With the majority being held by the Democrats, President Obama’s pick is practically a shoo-in.

Ms. Kagen will be the second justice nominated to the highest bench in the land by President Obama; the first was “wise Latina” Sonia Sotomayor. Side note: Sotomayor is extremely fun to say out loud. Try it. Super-fun, isn’t it?
