At least in theory Kagan could compensate somewhat for the slenderness of her academic resume through the quality of her work. But if Kagan is a brilliant legal scholar, the evidence must be lurking somewhere other than in her publications. Kagan's scholarly writings are lifeless, dull, and eminently forgettable. Thomas, have you ever read legal scholarly writings that weren't "lifeless, dull" and eminently boring. The vast majority are. Of course there are exceptions but they are rare...in my experience. It strikes me that her lack of publication may well be a deficit but then when you look at the positives......I really think they outweight that deficit. My God, Thurgood Marshall picked her to clerk for him and people are worried that she may be light on diversity issues......a woman......purported to be gay....one who clerked for a black judge. People who are lightweights rarely get to be a professor of law at the Univ of Chicago, Dean at Harvard, Associate Counsel in the Clinton administration and Solicitor General under Obama. Are all the people employing her confused liberals? I don't think so. I don't get the attack on her but something doesn't smell right.
