WASHINGTON — Republicans hunting for clues about what kind of justice Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan would be said Tuesday they want to see papers from her time serving in the Clinton administration.

The focus on Clinton-era documents reflects the GOP's difficult task of turning up material that could power opposition to Kagan, the solicitor general who appears likely to be elevated to justice barring extraordinary developments during her confirmation process.

"It is a confirmation, it's not a coronation," said Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee that will hold hearings on Kagan's nomination.

"She's never been a judge. Never litigated cases except in the last few months as solicitor general. And so she lacks a good bit, frankly," Sessions said.

2. He look bug eyed and nutty on my tv tonight but what else is new?

For Rethugs though, confirmations should always be coronations, right Sessions?

3. Democrats asked for Roberts' papers from way back as I recall.

This is pay-back. And, it's true that Kagan has not left much of an ideological trail.

4. Well Sessions would know something about "lacking a good bit".
