If there is any further cause for this diesel dyke to be turned out at the door, this is it: the old “living document” canard.

Some senator needs to ask her what would be a valid basis for impeachment of a supreme court justice.

She’ll have fun along with the “Wise Latina” on the SC second-guessing the Founding Fathers.

I guess this goes to the idea that words don’t mean what they mean sort of revelation. Who know we needed prophets on the Supreme Court?

Extreme lefties like Kagan don’t even lie about injecting their own opinions into law anymore. Of all the malicious things obama has done, and is doing, the SCJ appointments he makes will turn out to be the most serious and painful for our country. He only needs one more, then it’ll be disarmament for the common people. RIP America.

That view pretty much writes the stringet amendment processes right out of the Constitution. Why go through the tough amendment process when “intrepting over time” can accomplish the same thing with non of the associated hassels (or accountability)?

If the Constitution is not engraved on stone it is worthless!

That’s a disqualifier right there. But far be it from a Republican to make waves — after all, the one won.

I guess if you don’t like the ending to a book, you just re-write it. Scary.

This woman will do untold damage to our liberties if confirmed.

Too bad the spineless Repukes will not do anything to stop this monstrosity. They need to be voted out in Nov along with the Democruds.

This attitude of hers is no different than any other liberal judge on the bench.

They ALL believe that they are some “special kind of smart” that they can apply their articulated wisdom to every case and rule the way that they desire instead of the way the laws/constitution/amendments are written.

As Walter Williams says,” If I’m playing poker with you and in the middle of the game I say that two pair beats three of a kind you’d be rightfully upset”. This is what the Kagans are proposing.

For sure aspects of the constitution have to be interpreted, as some circumstances have altered since its inception, but there are quite definite absolutes enshrined in it which are not and were never intended to be open to dissembling.

Unfortunately, America is a land ruled by lawyers, and some of them are so skilled at equivocation they can not only make yes mean no and black mean white, but definitely mean maybe and pea-green mean yellow. This is why the continuing spread of moral relativism is so dangerous. Its denial of any absolutes essentially means we can all do what we "feel" is right, which renders any argument merely an exercise in power-politics.
