My post about Pam Karlan as a potential Supreme Court nominee (see below) got more play than I expected. (I’m always surprised when someone reads something I write. Usually, I think: this can’t be a good use of readers’ time . . .) Which is all to the good: I think Pam would be marvelous in that job. But Pam isn’t the only first-rate candidate under discussion. My former boss Elena Kagan would likewise be terrific. A big part of the reason why goes to an idea that has attracted a lot of attention of late: empathy.
