But in documents obtained by CBS News, Kagan--while working as a law clerk to the late Justice Thurgood Marshall - made her positions clear on some of the nation's most contentious social issues.

California, Ohio and others are boycotting Arizona in one form or another over its immigration law. The latest blow is Los Angeles schools now want to teach the kids that Arizona is 'un-American' for enacting this law.

Live and Let Die: Another Party Night at White House
