| 49. ABC World News did an article on the Supreme Court yesterday. |

They said Merrick Garland would be the safest choice because he is a moderate and Diane Wood would be the most liberal.
They mentioned Kagan is a person who is liberal on issues such as gay rights and abortion, but conservative in that she is unlikely to restrict the President's war time powers. I don't see Kagan voting to do something like overturn Roe v. Wade but she might be bad news for cases involving the Guantanamo Bay detainees.
They also made a point in saying it would be likely that Stevens would survive a nomination today with the current polarized political climate and a 24/7 news cycle.
