"Republicans Press Kagan on Social Issues"

"Republicans Press Kagan on Social Issues": This article appears today in The New York Times, along with an editorial entitled "Confirm Elena Kagan."

Today's edition of The Washington Post contains articles headlined "Kagan finishes Supreme Court confirmation hearings" and "At hearings, Elena Kagan charmed her critics -- and seemed to enjoy herself," along with an editorial entitled "Meaningful dialogue between a Republican and Obama's nominee."

James Oliphant of The Los Angeles Times reports that "Kagan slips on fruits and vegetables in Senate panel questioning; The Supreme Court nominee's otherwise smooth testimony bodes well for her confirmation, but conservatives have a field day with one embarrassing answer." In addition, columnist Doyle McManus has an op-ed entitled "Political rhetoric gets a hearing: Elena Kagan's confirmation hearing gave both parties a chance to broadcast their views, with the GOP radical, cohesive and fierce; the Democrats, scattered, diverse and only occasionally fierce."

Joan Biskupic of USA Today reports that "Kagan approval seems sure as her testimony ends; Nominee defends current court's 'good faith' efforts."

The Wall Street Journal contains articles headlined "Confirmed: Hearings Aren't Pleasing Anybody" and "Amid All the Talk, a Willingness to Curb Some Speech."

McClatchy Newspapers report that "Kagan seems to be cruising toward easy confirmation."

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that "Specter says he could vote against Kagan."

And law.com reports that "On Final Day of Questioning, Kagan Refuses to Define Her Views."
