“Brewing legal disputes could define Kagan’s early tenure; Coming soon to the Supreme Court: Arizona’s immigration law, same-sex marriage and President Obama’s healthcare overhaul; It’s unclear how the justices will configure themselves.” David G. Savage has this article today in The Los Angeles Times. The newspaper also reports that “Elena Kagan sworn in as Supreme Court justice; Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. administers the oath two days after her confirmation by the Senate; She is not expected to dramatically alter the ideological makeup of the court.”

The Washington Post reports today that “Elena Kagan sworn in as 112th U.S. Supreme Court justice.”

And The New York Daily News contains an article headlined “It’s Official! Elena Kagan sworn in as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.”
