It probably would have helped if a few more of us voted in 2006 and especially 2008, regardless of how crappy the Republican Party and Bush was (especially towards the end).
Anyone that thinks we can actually stop this Lezbo now from getting on the court is DREAMING. You should have done some thinking back then, instead of “sending a message”.
FILLIBUSTER!!!!!!!!! Maybe Arlin Sphincter will join the GOP in doing so. He didn’t like Kagan at all.
Any dim wit who votes for this totally unqualified, sexist anti-American should be expelled from GOP.
If GOP can’t make a statement here, they deserve to die ASAP IMHO
If the Republicans can’t keep this unfit nominee off the court, then what good are they?
Any Rino that votes for her is political toast. She is an idiot not worthy of running a motel.
We need someone in the Senate to stand up and make an “Elena Kagan’s America” speech. Put it directly and in stark terms. The media may ridicule it, but they’ll carry it and it will wake up a few of the go-along/get-along apathetic people out there. It’ll also lay the groundwork for the rest of us to spread the word.
A long list of injustices and well-grounded fears. The media may pooh-pooh it, but long lists have a way of making people doubt. That’s why Kennedy’s attack worked so well.
We can do the same thing, except with truth on our side.
Now we just need someone who’ll show enough leadership to do it, rather than just make brief comments the media can fob off as “doubts.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell...issued statements Friday afternoon

too little, too late. Time will tell, but typical of Republican leadership
I am pretty sure McC thinks this will keep Rand Paul or another Rand Paul kind of candidate from running against him. But he’s not up until 2014.
Are you saying that the GOP that we have all committed ourselves too for many decades now is as useless as a one-legged clothespin? If so, you win the prize for discernment.
I don’t think Lovable Lindsey believes in hell, and if he does, it is for “the bigots”, as he calls his Republican opponents.
There is nothing that McC will hate more than having to vote against Kagan. It is in the words of Nixon “contrary to every instinct in his body”, which is to accommodate Democrats.
Yep.
Same with Murkowski. You can bet she is only voting against Kagan because it’s before her primary and she is up against a conservative challenger.
...for those interested. :D
