I don't know how people could listen to Kagan practicing as Solicitor General, and not reach any conclusion other than she's "ignorant" and incompetent and wholly out of her league in that room.

I like you Senator Coburn, but please don’t make us promises that you guys aren’t going to keep.

[surroundedbyblue]

Finally, somebody with a set of ba!!$ who’s willing to try & block this troll.

[TexasCajun]

Obamah, Kagan and their ilk believe our Founding Fathers were fools.

My impression of her decisions is “I’ll try this...If that doesn’t work...I’ll do this...No LAW behind it...just trying to bypass it BASED ON HER PERSONAL AGENDA.

[Turbo Pig]

The GOP doesn’t have the jewels to stand up to the Dems in this manner.

[Izzy Dunne]

Call me a cynic, but it's happening again - I hear all this noise, and all the reasons why the current nominee is ignorant/malicious/racist/flameworthy, and I think somebody will stand up.

But the vote is 85-15 or so.

Every time, it seems.

[Loud Mime]

Coburn should ask Kagin about her opinions and translations of many of Madison’s Federalist writings where Madison said that the Federal government’s role was to be limited.

[chris37]

What does he intend to do about Lindsey Graham...

[Red Badger]

She’s not “ignorant of Constitutional principles”. She just doesn’t like them...................

[surroundedbyblue]

I’m still waiting for Candidate Toomey to put out a statement about her. He supported Sonya Sotomayor & I have serious reservations about voting for him. Knowing that this woman is such a pro-abortion pig AND a judicial activist, I really would love to see Toomey redeem himself by calling her out on it. I won’t hold my breath though.

So frustrating.

[a fool in paradise]

Some on talk radio have “given up the ship” saying that basically nominees sail through.

Except the GOP turned down Bush’s Miers nomination and the Democrats turned down Bork.

We DON’T have to give her any “grace”.

Sen. Coburn: Kagan 'Ignorant' of Constitutional Principles

I don't believe Kagan is 'Ignorant' at all. I believe that she, like the rest of the liberal wing of the SCOTUS, believe that you can re-interprete the constitution to meet a social or political end.

This means that she is not that interested in determining or studying what the framers originally had in mind when they wrote the constitution. Her main interest is to make it mean what she and her elite cohorts want it to mean.

Sen. Coburn: Kagan 'Ignorant' of Constitutional Principles; 'I Wouldn't Rule Out a Filibuster'

Uh-huh. I'd love to see it, but I'm not holding my breath. The 'Pubbies will cave on her like they always have.

[oneolcop]

The key to her defeat in this matter is to raise hell with each senator, compelling them to think twice about voting to end a filibuster should that occur. The dems don’t likely have the votes to end one without a repub to side with them. Hopefully, Lindsey Graham will call in sick on the day of the vote.

Kagan, anti-military and pro-terrorist. Could it be clearer?

“Obama Administration Enables Saudi Princes to Escape Accountability for Mat. Support 9/11 Attacks
WASHINGTON, June 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On the day that President
Obama holds his first summit with Saudi Arabian King Abdullah in Riyadh, the 9/11
Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism charged that recent actions by his administration
would enable five of the king's closest relatives to escape accountability for their role in
financing and materially supporting the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In response
to the administration's action, the 9/11 families released allegations made in 2002 of the
Saudi royal family's sponsorship and support of al Qaeda that the families believe have
been ignored by the Obama Administration.
On May 29, the president's top lawyer before the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Elena
Kagan, filed a brief arguing that it would be "unwarranted" for the Supreme Court to
even hear cases brought by the 9/11 families charging that five Saudi princes knowingly
and intentionally provided financial support to al Qaeda waging war on America. By
urging the high court to not review lower court decisions dismissing these cases, the
Obama Administration took the side of
the Saudi princes over thousands of family members and survivors of the 9/11 attacks
seeking justice and accountability in U.S. courts. “

Her view of the law is, the law says whatever I say it says and the law says whatever I need it to say.

If we care at all about the constitution, we need to filibuster this until they withdraw her name. Not one piece of work must go forward until they send her to the curb.

[fullchroma]

Fax, call, e-mail and hammer your Senators. Now.

Kagan is a liar (falsifying the partial-birth abortion memo) (”It looks like my handwriting” under oath).

Kagan is a politically motivated abuser-of-power (military recruiters thrown off Harvard campus while she was Dean of Law School).

Kagan has never served as a judge and she has only two-years experience as a lawyer in courts.

And we’d know more if over 40,000 pages of records from the Clinton Massage Parlor Library weren’t held until just days before her confirmation hearing.

[marron]

They need to filibuster and delay this thing until after November.
