Into battle over Kagan
President Obama’s nomination of US Solicitor General Elena Kagan, the former dean of Harvard Law School, to the Supreme Court set the stage for a clash over her resume and ideology as Republicans warned they would investigate what they called “weakness’’ in her credentials. (By Mark Arsenault and Matt Viser, Globe Staff)
For the court, a broker’s skills
The White House is counting on Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan to use her influential voice, intellectual heft, and knack for building consensus to help keep the high court from shifting to the political right, Democrats say. (By Susan Milligan and Alan Wirzbicki, Globe Staff | Globe Correspondent)
At Harvard, dean eased faculty strife
If she is confirmed as a Supreme Court justice, Elena Kagan will be well prepared for the fractiousness that often marks the nation’s highest court, having brought peace and, some say, happiness to Harvard Law School. (By Jonathan Saltzman and Tracy Jan, Globe Staff)
