White House officials say they have no doubt Elena Kagan will leave her audience impressed when she testifies before a Senate committee next week on her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Kagan, President Barack Obama’s second Supreme Court nominee, would become the fourth woman in its 221-year history, and for the first time give the court three sitting female members. She will make an opening statement after the 12 Democrats and seven Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee have an opportunity to speak.
