Reuters: Obama Court pick imminent, Kagan called favorite

[usregimechange]

Obama's announcement of his selection to replace retiring liberal Justice John Paul Stevens could come "at any moment," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday. Most observers expect an announcement Monday or Tuesday.

Administration officials have not said who Obama's nominee for the lifetime appointment to the nine-member Court will be, but they have confirmed the names of several people on Obama's short list, including Kagan.
