Janet NapalitanoKythas wrote:The top two contenders are apparently, in order, Diane Wood and Elena Kagan.
Wood is a judge on the 7th Circuit Court in Chicago. She is viewed as a hard-left liberal and I would imagine, being from Chicago, would lean anti-2A. She was on faculty at Chicago Law School where Obama taught Constitutional Law (I know, ironic isn't it?).
Kagan is former Dean of Harvard Law School but has never been a judge and therefore has no trail of judicial opinions. She's considered a moderate because she apparently was able to "reach out to conservatives" while Dean at Harvard. She is currently serving as US Solicitor General.
Janet Napalitano is apparently also in the running.
