President Obama has picked Solicitor General Elena Kagan as his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, NBC News reported Sunday, choosing a relative moderate who may still face questions from Republican Senators on gays in the military.

White House officials did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation of the NBC report, which gave no source for the information.

[Updated 8:10 p.m.: The Associated Press has also reported Kagan's nomination, citing a source who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been made public. Obama will announce his choice at 10 a.m. Monday in the East Room of the White House, says the AP.]

"Probably another woman , but maybe a pol."

Good observation. My bet is on the Hilarybeast. He gets to kill two birds with one stone. Kills 2012 competiton, and takes Clinton out the picture.

Seems Kagan pisses off everyone. The Progressives are all complaining she is not Leftist enough.

It is O’s Harriet Meyers moment
