Obama calls Kagan "consensus builder," "open to a broad array of viewpoints". Kagan received her law degree from Harvard, she later served as dean of the law school. Kagan has argued several high-profile cases before the Supreme Court. Conservative critics say she is too inexperienced to serve on the high court. Some people don't like Kagan's credentials, though. "Among Supreme Court nominees over the last 50 years or more, Kagan may well be the nominee with the least amount of relevant experience," said Ed Whelan, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, former law clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia, and former counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Kagan had never argued a case before the Supreme Court or any appeals court before she became solicitor general about a year ago.
I believe that Kagan's credentials are a bit weak but I also believe that President Obama wouldn't nominate her if he didn't have complete confidence in her and her abilities. Kagan has a lot of work to do to become better qualified for this position but if President Obama has faith in her then so do I.
