Obama's "moderate" Supreme Court nominee will clear the Senate as it confirmed her as Solicitor General last year 61-31 and frankly, given her utter lack of judicial experience, I have no idea how any member could question her enough to warrant a legitimate "no" vote. This will likely disappoint her, as in a 1995 law review article, Ms. Kagan congratulated the Senate for its boisterousness in Robert Bork's confirmation hearing by saying it was "the essential rightness—the legitimacy and the desirability—of exploring a Supreme Court nominee's set of constitutional views and commitments."

Honestly, I am sure she is a capable law school dean, but to appoint someone with zero judicial experience to the highest court in the country who has barely seen the inside of a courtroom (as she only worked for a firm for five years and as Solicitor General, has only argued a handful of cases like the one here:
