Those readers who want to get detailed information on the nomination and confirmation process of Elena Kagan may want to look at some online sources:

The leading blog on the Supreme Court is Scotus Blog [www.scotusblog.com]. This blog is presented by the Supreme Court practice of Akin, Gump, a large well-connected and well-respected law firm. It is constantly updated and viewed by most folks interested in the doings of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Also quite interesting, for an historical perspective, is the Legal History Blog [www.legalhistoryblog.blogstop.com]. This blog, while not focused solely on the Supreme Court, does post reviews of new books and articles dealing with legal history and the Supreme Court–and the Elena Kagan nomination has been featured of late. The blog is run by law professors, Mary Dudziak, at Southern California, and Dan Ernst, at Georgetown. Although at times a tad too academic for many tastes, it does give a good insight into what the professorial world is thinking.
