eldavojohn writes "As expected, by a vote of 63 to 37 [0]Elena Kagan has
been appointed as the 112th member of the Supreme Court of the United
States. Kagan, only 50 years old, has no judicial experience. The
Washington Post explains: 'Other justices have corporate law backgrounds
or a long record of arguing before the court. Kagan worked briefly for a
law firm and argued her first case before an appellate court 11 months
ago. It happened to be before the Supreme Court, the first of six cases
she argued as the nation's first female solicitor general.' Her [1]fair
use views and [2]free speech views have made her a focus of Slashdot
recently."
