Elena Kagan is the smartest of the liberal justices. She was the dean of the Harvard Law School. She was the United States solicitor general. She is a very, very smart, talented lawyer. And I think Roberts is going to try very hard to make the personal case to each of the justices that the court needs to be united. By the way, that's not unprecedented. If you look at Brown v. Board of Education, which was the case in 1954 that struck down segregated schools, that decision was unanimous. (08:56–09:06)
