Solicitor General Hearing Tests Waters for Judicial Nominations

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Senate Judiciary Committee has adjourned a joint hearing on President Obama’s nominations of Elena Kagan for Solicitor General and of Thomas Perrelli for Associate Attorney General (LiveBlogged by SCOTUSblog here.)

Politico reports that some lawmakers view Kagan’s nomination as preview of future Supreme Court nominations. According to Politico, “Not only is Kagan, 48, on many short lists for a Supreme Court appointment; when the Judiciary Committee considers her nomination for solicitor general, it will preview many of the same legal and constitutional issues that the Obama administration must confront: detainee rights, interrogation practices, criminal law, voting rights, [and] the reach of presidential power.”

Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), a member and former chair of the Judiciary Committee, told Politico that he thought it was fair to characterize Kagan’s nomination as a preview of sorts for  Obama’s nominations to the high court.
