Here we go. J Kagan will be interviewed by Carolyn Shapiro

Kagan agrees with what J Scalia said that you can't take it personally when Justices disagree in good faith

Kagan says Chief is a great model for collegiality. Self interest keeps things cordial because Justices are repeat players

Kagan: the best response to charges of scotus politicization is to reach consensus where they can

after Scalia death, 8 person court silver lining was Justices had to keep talking even when it appeared 4-4. Try try try to break ties

Sometimes Justices found a question for which they agreed on the answer but it wasn't a question anyone wanted answered

On opinion writing J Kagan said some people thought she went too far in citing Dr Seuss

If good opinion writing looks easy, it is actually a lot of work. Kagan aims for a reader who is intelligent without a law degree
