Toobin predicts Kagan will get SCOTUS nod

Last night's Law Day dinner, sponsored by the Fund for Legal Aid, was a boffo hit featuring Garrison Keillor, who talked about Don and Arvonne Fraser, and journalist Jeffrey Toobin, who covers the Supreme Court and is the author of "The Nine." In good news for readers of Woman, Esq., Toobin predicted that the next Supreme Court nominee would be Solicitor General Elena Kagan, and then after her, Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security. That will make for interesting discussions, Toobin said, since Napolitano used to be Anita Hill's attorney. He also said that if Minnesota would elect a Democratic governor, Amy Klobuchar would be in the running. I think he was serious, although Klobuchar was in the audience and Toobin also remarked, "Nobody panders like I do."
