Who is Elena Kagan?

As we all know that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is ill, who knows how long is she going to remain in the Supreme Court? Well no one knows, on the other hand the Senate Judiciary Committee is looking to find the next Solicitor General. Therefore President Barack Obama has let out to the media his candidate for Solicitor General. His nominee choice is Elena Kagan. She is a dean at Harvard Law School for 6 years now. She is only 48 years old, the reason why so many believe she is not right for the job. President Barack Obama has a lot to deal with and they don’t believe she deal with it.

On the other hand Senator Orrin G. Hatch form Utah believes that she is the right candidate even if she doesn’t have enough experience. He states that, “There’s no doubt in my mind that she would be high in their pecking order. “But they’ve made such a fuss about the need to have judicial experience, and she’s had absolutely none. Has she had any experience arguing before the Supreme Court? Not that I know.” Does she have enough experience lets see; she serve as clerked for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and she also worked in the White House as a police aide for Bill Clinton. Does she have enough experience well she has to prove to be good enough to represent the United States.
