Citizens United was Kagan's first case
People who guess that she'd argue for the corporations are unbelievably uninformed.

"At oral argument, Solicitor General Kagan represented the F.E.C., which has argued in briefs that the lower court’s decision to restrict Citizens United was proper, and that Congress has the authority to restrain corporate spending on communications that are plainly oriented towards supporting or advocating against a particular political candidate."
