Klobuchar Welcomes the Kagan Review

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, is looking forward to considering Solicitor General Kagan's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Klobuchar, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says a Justice should demonstrate, "An independent breadth of mind and character, with an open-minded, fair approach to the facts and the law."

Klobuchar described Kagan as extremely intelligent, bringing a wide variety of legal experience to the bench, having spent time in government, private practice, as a professor, and as the first woman dean of the Harvard Law School.
