Elena Kagan supported Peter Keisler
Well, here's why I don't feel I can oppose the Kagan nomination actively. (H/t: SCOTUSBlog)
I have no illusions about how she'll vote on the Court, tho' I think her likely influence within the Court has been overstated. (How is Justice Kennedy -- who allegedly reads his press clippings like a star soprano -- supposed to react when the media openly predict that Kagan, with her nice smile and her history of impressing grown-ups, will twist him around her little finger? Sheesh.)
Anyway, she supported Peter, so I can't oppose her. Debt of honor. Sorry.
