If there is substantial evidence that the Left is more enthusiastic about the Kagan nomination now than it was when it tried to derail the prospective nomination (see, e.g., Glenn Greenwald’s “The case against Elena Kagan”), I haven’t run across it.

Just yesterday, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, which last year endorsed the Sotomayor nomination, announced that it would not endorse the Kagan nomination because “key questions remain regarding her civil rights record.”
