Progressive think tank Third Way released a memo on Elena Kagan today that discusses her merits as a moderate nominee for the Supreme Court. What separates this memo from a number of other think tank memos and blog posts on the subject is that it's a collection of other--and mostly conservative--individuals' words.
A couple of particularly interesting ones include:
Former Bush administration lawyer Brad Berenson said that Kagan “sent a strong signal to conservative alumni that, despite her own party affiliation, she was committed to intellectual diversity and meritocracy at [Harvard Law School], and was determined to serve the long-term best interests of the institution rather than any narrow ideological agenda.”
And:
Even conservative author Dick Morris has said that within the Clinton White House, Kagan “was a moderate and conservative . . . she would be a moderate on the court. She’d be a little bit like Sandra Day O’Connor.”
