David Axelrod reports that the late Justice Antonin Scalia actually recommended that President Obama pick Elena Kagan to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court.
Said Scalia: “I have no illusions that your man will nominate someone who shares my orientation. But I hope he sends us someone smart.”
He added: “Let me put a finer point on it. I hope he sends us Elena Kagan.”
