Au contraire, I think she's a fat smart sow with an agenda, is fairly politically adept, and has legions of allies who are, in fact, ignorant. If previous legislation concerning nutrition is any indication, she'll get her way because she's an insidious, conniving little bitch who is intelligent enough to play to special interest groups and political cliques whilst dodging questions on issues as a whole. That's just politics.

Coburn (not that I'm a fan of his, either) can beat her black and blue with the logic stick and then throw her into the common sense canyon and it won't make a bit of difference. Even if Kagan doesn't get the seat, there will be more like her and they won't stop until they find a way in. They always find a way in. Frakking parasites.

So because trying to paint a central right Obama pick as some left wing loon fails just resort to sexism is that correct?

I dont get what yall are so worked up about. Trust me if Obama would have listened he would have picked someone to balance out Alito's insane right wing activism from the bench.

[GoldenRivet]

yes zach... the woman is a clown.

did you even watch the video? did you see that rug dance???

its pure and simple - congress doesnt have the right to force individual citizens to purchase goods or services and she knows it.

"Central right"? Man if you think she's central right no wonder this country is heading for another civil war.

[SteamWake]

Central Right???

Sure tossing the recruiters off campus is a central right act...

Meh she is nothing but a blank slate if you will a rubber stamp for the current adminstrations agenda.

It is quite obvious to a good many pepole but it wont matter, she will be seated and probably alot faster than some more conservative picks of the recent past.

Obama could have nominated the ghost of Ayn Rand and the comments in this thread would have been the exact same, simply because she was an Obama nominee.

Politics as usual:

Republicans, privately frustrated, acknowledge that they have searched without luck for a controversy to pin on Kagan, Obama's solicitor general, since she was nominated in early May. "There's been so little oxygen for this," said one senior Republican aide.

"Ghost of Ayn Rand" Nice one, mookie

Of course, the nice thing about having a ghost on the bench is that you could see right through her, unlike politically ambitious persons, which Kegan is.

And Rightists don't? I've had problems for years with people who know that they're right, and that applies to all sides of every issue.

A brilliant appraisal of her qualifications.

you can see it in her face. "Ohhh how do i dance around this one?"

And you would see that exact same look on my face if someone asked me an obviously loaded question which I knew was designed to trip me up. I thought her separating "Dumb law" from "Constitutional" was a good answer. Would she vote for or against such a law? Who knows? Probably not even she herself. On the other hand they only showed a small clip of an obviously longer proceeding. I would like to know how that particular part played out.

True, but it also applies to many of them. A little research would reveal that a great many Supreme Court justices have been selected because of their political leanings, only to be a disappointment to the presidents who appointed them.

I'm more likely to question her on her lack of actual experience. She apparently has never actually tried a case as a lawyer and never been a judge. On the other hand there is nothing that says a Supreme Court nominee must have any legal training at all.

I had quite seriously considered changing the thread title to "People have a very hard time admitting when they're wrong" for that very reason.

however, since the topic of discussion is a leftist issue... i didnt

most people have that problem.

and i disagree with the comment that anyone Obama would have brought in would have been picked apart.

anyone that any president picks for the job SHOULD be picked apart.
However, this lady is quite clearly trying to satisfy her masters in her answers, and this clearly shows her to be incapable of removing bias in her judgment.

it is black and white - Congress simply does not have the power or authority to tell me i have to buy something and thats what this conversation of mine is all about... everyone on the supreme court knows it... she knows it... everyone in this forum knows it, but her rug dance about it could make a person puke.

Good point Steve, and that's the reason why I never discuss about politics here.

Everyone (or almost everyone) in their solitude are cultivating their own certitude.

I guess it's a matter of comfort.

She sure did have a big problem answering a very simple question.

[nikimcbee]

I suppose we should pull out the fair play rule, and give her the "justice Thomas" treatment.

What thinketh the Wise Latina? How rule ye?

It's just politics as usual, but these people do need to be grilled though.
