The Four Justices: Justice Elena Kagan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 бер 2015
- Justice Elena Kagan was interviewed by Jan Smith, for the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. Justice Kagan is depicted in the "The Four Justices" painting by artist Nelson Shanks, along with Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
On October 28, 2013, the National Portrait Gallery celebrated the arrival of Nelson Shanks’s "The Four Justices," a tribute to the four female justices who have served on the U.S. Supreme Court. The work is monumental; it measures approximately seven feet by five-and-a-half feet (in its custom-made frame it is almost nine-and-a-half feet by eight feet) and holds the west wall of the National Historic Landmark Building’s second-floor rotunda. Of the work, NPG Chief Curator Brandon Fortune noted, “The National Portrait Gallery is honored to have such an ambitious group portrait on loan to the museum.”
The work is based on sittings the justices had with Shanks; the two senior justices are seated and the recent appointees standing. Although the logistics of bringing three active and one retired justice into his studio was challenging, Shanks prefers to draw from life, which he feels brings each sitter’s distinct presence into his work. “If you can imagine a painting-no matter how facile-that doesn’t show character, something is missing,” Shanks noted in an interview with NPG. “Representation of character is really what counts to me.”
Only men had sat on the bench of the Supreme Court until President Ronald Reagan appointed Sandra Day O’Connor in 1981. After O’Connor, the next woman to receive an appointment was Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a nominee of President Bill Clinton in 1993. President Barack Obama appointed Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan are still on the bench; O’Connor retired in 2006.
Shanks’s oil on canvas painting is on loan to the National Portrait Gallery from Ian and Annette Cumming; they have also loaned their portrait of mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves by Shanks to NPG. Shanks is also responsible for two presidential portraits in the Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection: one of President Reagan created in 1989, and one of President Clinton painted in 2005.
Well it's the 5 Justices now, hopefully we'll have many more nominated from both sides of the aisle.
Mrs Ginsburg was a brilliant mind, a living legend. During her long life, she's been through some hard stuff, but she never played anything down, she never wavered, she told the truth.She stood for human rights. The rights of all the American people. Regardless of who they are. In one word: She stood for justice. I guess that's what our president had in mind when he said truthfully:«She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not.»ua-cam.com/video/24QKYig1prU/v-deo.html

Despite our many disagreements, I know the Saudi King provided as much support as he could, but its important to me to become acquainted and get to know my extended ottoman family. We have the same bloodline. I want to love them.
she looks like the girl you invite to the party and turns the shit up
her first job as a judge was supreme court??
1/3 of all our justices weren’t judges. (William Rehnquist, Lewis Powell, Byron White, Earl Warren, etc. just to name a few)
She did go to Harvard law school
She shoots animals for fun, she sure know a lot about justice

So Scalia wanted her on the Court simply because they were hunting buddies? That’s weird, but I’m glad he recommended her.
John Henderson, they became buddies after earning her role as a justice the video stated.
Did u watch the video? Scalia didn't recommend her for anything.
I heard Elena Kagan, is one of the worst judges on justice for victims. Reverse discrimination is a case I am looking at all the judges and hope to get help..
As I look at there faces there are full of hate for God who by the way put them there now the only thing they have to look for is destruction of the flesh and more important there souls bottom line Romans 10 : 9, 10
least favorite judge on scotus currently, seems intelligent though.
Who is your favorite Justice then? Mine is Sonia Sotomayor.
@@jedijournal9159 same i love her
We need more like Thomas very conservative.
🤔Right! More people who don't ask questions for over 10yrs. That's just what we need. Someone to gaze at the ceiling during oral arguments
still feel that way bud?
