The dodgy Miss Kagan

Fifteen years ago, Elena Kagan wrote a law review article calling the Supreme Court confirmation process "a vapid and hollow charade" that takes on "an air of vacuity and farce." Instead of a quality discussion, she wrote, nominees offer "repetition of platitudes" and "personal anecdotes."

On Tuesday, fate cast Kagan as the lead actor in the very farce she correctly described. And, to nobody's surprise, she played the role according to the standard script: with platitudes, personal anecdotes and an air of vacuity.

"Please, tell us, why do you want to serve on the Supreme Court?" asked Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.).

So, now she is enjoying her “boxers or briefs” moment in the sun??

It is disgusting that the politicians who are SUPPOSED to be representing US and OUR wishes in the government instead play to each other. The ‘Pubbies plan to support her nomination. The question is - What have they been promised in exchange???

(It is also noteworthy that even the Washington comPost think she isn’t qualified . . . . . . . the Washington comPOST!!!!)

The arrogance of Kagan types is beyond comprehension.

Yet the blind mice still vote for traitors like her

So why did this thread conjur up an image of Kagan in HS gym class playing dodgeball?

And why am I getting ready to gouge out my own eyes???

How anyone can stomach this farce of a legit hearing is beyond me. She should be selling BS at the nearest garden store. She could make a mint at it.

Perhaps, but your choice of metaphor conjures some unfortunate imagery.

Obligatory “Carpet Muncher!” Alert!

Her political contributions since 2000. She did not donate to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign; last donating to her Senate race in 2000. She has, however, made big contributions to the Marxist Obama, for his Senate run, and then for his presidential race.

This is the best wehave for the supreme court?

[DustyMoment]

Sorry about that.

Nothing that a dozen martinis won’t cure.
