Obama picked Elena Kagan, an Modern Orthodox Jew who became Conservative, as a nominee to the Supreme Court.

Is this good for us?

Supreme Court Nominee is different than Justice. Obama nominated her. Congress has yet to approve her. And we already have a Jewish SPJ - Ruth Bader Ginsberg. I don't forsee this being very problematic.

Actually, we already have two -- Stephen Breyer is also Jewish.

Well, with the Democratic almost supermajority in the Senate, her confirmation is a foregone conclusion, isn't it?

Maybe. It depends on whether the senators up for re-election want this used in their campaigns by their opponents.

There’s a saying: If you want to know who the person is, tell me who his friends are...

If Aharon Barak, the ex-Chief Justice of the Israeli Supreme Court, is the role model of Elena Kagan and views him as her "judicial hero", the picture is clear. Religious Jews have nothing to rejoice about.

And with this you can understand why Obama picked her...
