Let the excitement begin! Elena Kagan's Supreme Court confirmation hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee will get under way June 28.
Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont said Wednesday the schedule should allow the hearings to be completed before senators go home for a weeklong break in early July.
That would put the Senate on track to meet President Barack Obama's timetable of voting on Ms. Kagan's confirmation before the Senate's August recess.
