I’ve twice referenced Kathleen Sullivan in my posts on SG Kagan, noting that Sullivan is a liberal who believes many campaign finance limits are unconstitutional. We don’t know whether the Solicitor General feels the same way. But here’s what Kathleen just wrote about SG Kagan at the NYT’s “Room for Debate” blog: “Her articles on free speech showed a strong sense of the importance of civil liberties as a bulwark against ideological orthodoxy — a perspective that will give her ready camaraderie with free speech devotees on the court like Justices Scalia, Kennedy and Thomas.”
