Elena Kagan - Nominated Supreme Court Justice
All parties are and should be interested in proving whether or not Kagan actually can sit as a Justice, having never served as a judge before. This doesn’t necessarily mean that she is without merit, it simply means that here merit is applied elsewhere.
