Justice Elena Kagan unveils her Supreme Court style in debut argument
Justice Elena Kagan threw herself into her new job Monday with an aggressive performance during the Supreme Court's inaugural oral argument of the 2010 term. The first one hour of her judicial debut, Kagan asked infinitely more questions than Justice Clarence Thomas did during all of last year. Kagan asked 10 question during the oral argument. That was more than most of her colleagues and far more that Thomas. Kagan didn't crack any jokes Monday, she sounded relaxed and threw out a combination of hypothetical questions and fact-based queries. Kagan hasn't yet written any opinions, though she has annouced that she will recuse herself from a number of cases beacause of her prior work as the Obama administration's solocitor general. At this week, Kagan recused herself from four of them.
