President Obama has nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan to become a judge on the U.S. Supreme Court, but it is not certain that the U.S. Senate will confirm her appointment.
Several factors may have a negative impact on the Senate decision.
First, Kagan has no experience on being a judge -- experience that every new Supreme Court judge has had for the past several decades.
Second, she has promoted same-sex "marriage" as well as abortion.
Third, the Catholic Families for America (CFA) -- one of the largest groups of lay Catholics in the United States -- has opposed Kagan's nomination, and has begun a nationwide petition that it plans to forward to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In fact, the CFA has called Kagan's nomination "an affront to Catholic Church teaching," because of her support of anti-Christian ideas.
Consequently, Kagan faces a rocky road when U.S. Senators begin to question her on her social, legal, and other beliefs in the near future.
In short, Kagan will not have an easy time being confirmed a Supreme Court judge by the U.S. Senate. Personally, it would not surprise me one iota if the Senate rejected her nomination to be a Supreme Court judge.
