Ok, I say seat her now. She's already proved she can handle herself well and with humor in spite of stupidity staring her in the face.

Based on how she was answering some of the other questions, I say, "Hell no!"

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

You'd think the GOP would be all for it, then.

Specifically?

Senator Coburn's question about the Commerce Clause most notably. She's demurred on a few others. Having listened to audio of some of her comments as solicitor general (v. Citizens United), her stance on the First Amendment is wholly alarming.

Ok, I listened to the first TWO MINUTES of that and all I could see was some jackass spouting his opinion about things he think might happen.

I wanted to know what Kagan has specifically said during her confirmation hearing that has the right in a tizzy.

Max:

You know pretty well my views on the Commerce Clause and jurisprudence relating to it for the last 75 years. I disagree with her position.

But...

As Solicitor General it is her job to make the arguments she made. She probably believes them - and her viewpoints are sadly consistent with the modern viewpoint.

She is stating nothign controversial from a legal sense with the Commmerce Clause. That she is with the majority is the thing that is unfortunate.

I liked the "Where were you on Christmas?" answer.





Not sure if she should be seated based on sense-of-humor, though.

No Bible to thump on and is not bought and paid for by the clowns that bought Reagan and Bush to appoint the ass clowns they did.( AND they made out like MAJOR MOFO's in 8 years of Bush the Second Administration that they handed to him)

It was a funny answer .

I wonder if her fortune cookie said she'd be nominated to the SCOTUS .

Quade is right - she's funny, therefore she should serve on the SC

(Despite the clear indications she'll be very activist and push policy rather than rule on existing law as written)

but hey, she has a sense of humor

Funny. You of all people ought to realize it's not what she's saying that matters.

Sotamayor said she supported the 2nd amendment in her confirmation hearing.

Like how the Dems were concerned solely and specifically with what Alito or Roberts said in their confirmation hearings, I suppose.

I think for many it's the lack of specifics. In spite of her 1995 writings criticizing this process for allowing nominees to avoid answering any questions.

so there's nothing new about this one, but a little latent hypocrisy all the same.

My only issues are her lack of judicial exp.

I had the same issue with Myers, but this time it seems not to be an issue?

And how she refuses to take positions when asked questions. Understandable, but add the two and it leaves us with no real gauge on her positions.

In the end is it a big deal? Nah, she is replacing a liberal and even if she is strongly liberal, nothing will change. Also there is ZERO chance Obama would nominate a Con.....

My issue with her is her changing a memo to support her arguments FOR late term abortions

Quote

At least 38 justices -- including Rehnquist -- had no judicial experience before being nominated to the Supreme Court. While right-wing media have objected to the fact that Kagan has not previously served as a judge, University of Virginia government professor emeritus Henry J. Abraham has found that 38 justices -- more than a third of the 111 who have served on the Supreme Court -- had no prior judicial experience. Findlaw.com's Supreme Court Center similarly reports that 40 justices had no prior judicial experience. Rehnquist and Earl Warren -- two of the past four chief justices -- had never been judges before their original appointments as justices. Both were nominated by Republican presidents.

Thomas and Roberts had little judicial experience before being nominated to Supreme Court. Clarence Thomas had served as a judge for 16 months and John Roberts had served for roughly two years at the time they were nominated to the Supreme Court by Republican presidents.

Kagan's legal experience is comparable to that of Rehnquist, Thomas, and Roberts at the time of their nominations. Kagan has 23 years of legal experience (after law school). Rehnquist had 20 years of legal experience at the time of his nomination. Thomas had 17 years of legal experience at the time of his nomination. Roberts had 26 years of legal experience at the time of his nomination. None had served more than two years as a judge.
