Reply #5: Her job as Soliciter General is to represent the position of the US Governement

not her own personal views. With that said, I don't think anyone can accurately predict her future decisions based on what her arguments as Soliciter Gereral have been. She's done what the administration and the government has told her to do. She is not an indenpenent actor in her role. To that I'll add this - I think most of us have been disappointed in the administrations decision to carry forward a number of the Bush policies and opinions such as the one you mentioned. But Kagan is not the administration, she's arguing the administrations positions.
