Elena Kagan - 0 for 1
From the President’s announcement of Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court:
“Last year, in the Citizens United case, she defended bipartisan campaign finance reform against special interests seeking to spend unlimited money to influence our elections. Despite long odds of success, with most legal analysts believing the government was unlikely to prevail in this case, Elena still chose it as her very first case to argue before the Court. “
…which may have been behind “most legal analysts believing the government was unlikely to prevail in this case.”
