According to the official reports, various senators gave U. S. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan generally good reviews Thursday after she made a round of courtesy calls on Capitol Hill.

It has been reported that Kagan, the current U. S. solicitor general, reportedly raised some eyebrows when she told senators that Senate confirmation hearings for the high court have degenerated into political-posturing sessions that don't shed much light on the nominee's true qualifications.

Kagan remarked that "the last several hearings … have been pretty superficial," Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., told ABC News.

He was satisfied with Kagan's explanation of her reasoning for barring military recruiters from the Harvard Law campus while she was dean, Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., told The Boston Globe.

It was further noted by the report that a potentially key meeting was with Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., who opposed Kagan's nomination for solicitor general. Specter told Politico that he was reassured after spending 30 minutes chatting with Kagan. (With Inputs from Agencies)
