US GOVERNMENT
Carefully examine the news article below, then answer the questions that follow. May 10, 2010. ELINA KAGAN WILL BE OBAMA'S PICK FOR THE SUPREME COURT. President Obama has selected Solicitor General Elena Kagan as his second nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, ABC News has learned. If her nomination is approved by the Senate, Kagan would fill the seat left open by the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens and become the fourth woman ever to sit on the nation's highest court. Kagan, 50, is considered one of the finest legal scholars in the country, dazzling both fellow liberal and conservative friends with her intellectual and analytical prowess but also her ability to find consensus among ideological opposites. "She's a solid, hard working, intelligent, really smart lawyer, who's had an extraordinary amount of experience in the law even though she hasn't been a judge," said Greg Craig, former White House Counsel, on "Good Morning America, "Politically, I think she's also as mainstream as they can get." Obama, who called Kagan last night with his final decision, is also said to be impressed with her trail-blazing career as the first woman to head Harvard Law School and the first woman confirmed as solicitor general. Kagan's background as the daughter of a tenant lawyer and a teacher and her never having served as a judge were also important factors in her nomination, sources say. Source: abcnews.go.

I understand that this flag has serious important meanings . . . But that does not mean that . . . people may not under the First Amendment show their feelings by what Texas calls desecration of a venerated object. I think it's a most important case. I sense that it goes to the heart of the First Amendment, to hear things or to see things that we hate test the First Amendment more than seeing or hearing things that we like. It wasn't designed for things we like. They never needed a First Amendment.
