Good morning YP&#8217;s! President Obama nominated Elena Kagan this morning, as his pick for the Supreme Court becoming what would be the youngest person to ever hold such position. What I find most appealing about this story is the inspiration that Ms. Kagan has demonstrated. She worked behind the scenes in the &#8220;corridor of legal [...]]]></description>
