From Reuters:

Republicans have questioned whether Kagan, a former Harvard law school dean who has served in the past two Democratic administrations, is driven more by politics than law.
Democratic backers call the 50-year-old nominee, who last week received the American Bar Association’s top rating, a perfect fit for the highest U.S. court.
Obama has faced a Republican wall of opposition this election year on issues like healthcare, climate change and immigration.
But barring unforeseen bombshells at the hearing, at least a few members of the opposition party are expected to join Democrats and confirm Kagan to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, the court’s leading liberal.
“She will be confirmed,” Democratic Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), who will preside over the hearing, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Monday.
“How many votes I don’t know (but) she will get a whole lot of votes,” Leahy added.
Senator Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the committee’s top Republican, offered no such predictions. “A lot of that depends on how this hearing goes,” said Sessions, who appeared with Leahy.
On Sunday, Sessions said, “This is a confirmation, not a coronation … She has the least experience of any nominee at least in the last 50 years.”

The organization recently sent a letter to its board, prohibiting any of them from testifying on Kagan’s Second Amendment views. This comes suspiciously soon after it cut a deal with Democrats to exempt itself from the DISCLOSE Act.
