With the revelation last week that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is suffering from pancreatic cancer, the political stakes for Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the next solicitor general were raised dramatically. President Barack Obama has nominated Elena Kagan, dean of Harvard Law School, to become the 46th solicitor general . . .
