Bill Press Show is reporting that it's Elena Kagan for Supreme Court

No other confirmation found.

DRIVING NEXT WEEK -- Look for President Obama to name his Supreme Court pick Monday, and look for it to be Solicitor General Elena Kagan, a former Harvard Law dean. The pick isn’t official, but top White House aides will be shocked if it’s otherwise. Kagan’s relative youth (50) is a huge asset for the lifetime post. And President Obama considers her to be a persuasive, fearless advocate who would serve as an intellectual counterweight to Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Scalia, and could lure swing Justice Kennedy into some coalitions The West Wing may leak the pick to AP’s Ben Feller on the later side Sunday, then confirm it for others for morning editions. For now, aides say POTUS hasn’t decided, to their knowledge. Kagan pic and bio

But the White House have shot down the rumor, according to TPM - http://twitter.com/cbellantoni/statuses/13544786958

But probably correct.

I hope this is not true.

wish it was someone else

I honestly haven't seen the reason why many libs are opposed to her. Not that I like her, or even know much about her, I'd just like to know her faults. Is she a conservadem or something? Where does she rate (left or right) of Justice Sotomayor? Thanks in advance.

He's been leading the charge against Kagan.

try to be a leader in any type of fight in the court. She has very conservative views. WE DON'T NEED THAT. We need someone who tracks more left to make up for the five far right wing justices we have now. She just doesn't cut it.

overstated. It is mainly based in her lack of a public record not things she has said. The disturbing issues surrounding the "battlefield" issue will be addressed in the confirmation hearing and, I suspect, clarified.

I, however, will withhold judgment until she is nominated. If Politico is reporting it, it is probably someone else.

My instinct as well.

However, her relationship with Goldman makes me a bit uncomfortable, in terms of "political optics" at least.

Oh lookie - it's already started - http://www.rollcall.com/news/45973-1.html

You still for her?

That's enough of a complaint for many folks, who would even consider Bernie Sanders "too moderate" for the court.

that's why.

I suspect others won't, however.

I like Bill Press. He's definitely one of the least obnoxious media persons, but I don't believe he has any close insider sources.

If he turns out to be right, great!

This was one of the few reasons to "hold our noses", and he's taking it away.

....

You don't get many chances to make picks like this. And he picked Kagan? wow just wow

of fighting for the People!

Fighting for the elites and protecting the corporations and financiers is true!

that's just what you decided long ago.
Doesn't make it anymore than your truth,
and something I ain't buying.

...

Sometimes I sincerely hope you don't mean what you post.

because it was more important to him to protect the interests of, and the deal he made with, PhRMA. He also killed the public option, by his own admission on a TV interview after HCR passed.

I wouldn't call any of those things as being pro-people.
