September Argument Debut for Solicitor General Kagan

Solicitor General Elena Kagan plans to make her first argument before the Supreme Court on Sept. 9 in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the so-called "Hillary -- The Movie" case. It's the oral argument the Supreme Court ordered as it recessed for the summer -- a rare move that alarmed supporters of campaign finance reform who fear the Court is preparing to overturn the ban on use of corporate or union treasury money for independent campaign expenditures.
