Senate to confirm Kagan as court's 4th-ever woman (AP Puff Piece Alert)
Associated Press ^ | August 5, 2010 | Julie Hirschfield Davis

Her confirmation assured, Elena Kagan is on the brink of becoming the fourth woman ever to serve as a Supreme Court justice.

The Senate is set Thursday to confirm President Barack Obama's nominee, whose addition to the court will mark the first time three female justices have served concurrently. Nearly all Democrats, the Senate's two independents and a handful of Republicans are backing her.

The vote is to be one of the Senate's last actions before its members depart for a monthlong vacation.

Republicans have harshly criticized Kagan, 50, as a political activist who would be unable to put aside her liberal views and render impartial decisions. Democrats defend the former Harvard Law School dean as a highly qualified legal scholar who could help bring consensus to the polarized court.

She's not expected to alter the ideological balance there as she succeeds retired Justice John Paul Stevens, who is regarded as a leader of the court's liberal wing.

Kagan's nomination to a lifetime seat on the nation's highest court has garnered relatively little notice this summer, with the public and elected officials preoccupied by bad economic news and the Gulf oil spill, and many lawmakers nervously eyeing the November midterm congressional elections.

The A-Pee puff piece had a picture from Getty Images so I substituted more appropriate one which didn't have copyright restrictions.

These clymers in the media continually take chutzpah to record levels. They minimize or ignore anything about the RATS and then proclaim how no one cares or notices.

Kagan has attained one of 0’s goals - a lifetime appointment to a prestigious, highly compensated position, without ever having to prove your competence, only because you’re entitled to it because you are a (fill in the blank).

I could just puke.

the republicans are putting on a faux fight and are not actually fighting this.

Kagan is an insane law professor type. You never want a law professor near anything that affects reality they have no clue.

There are 59 RATS in the Senate. Hitler and Stalin would have received at least 51 votes. I would assume the other 8 would be up for reelection and would have voted no.

Then again, it would have went up with Grahm, Snow and Murray.

"4th-ever woman?" How many more before we don't have to do the celebration?

Good photo Zak! It may be more true than many think.

That truth is revealed here, a great read:

If confirmed, she can be impeached, and there are already grounds for that in her record.

Our greatest hope is that sanity and Constitutionality returns soon to this country, and the Illegal Occupant who was NEVER eligible to hold the Office of the President will be found ineligible, all Laws enacted and Appointments enacted by him are ruled null and void. Removal of two Liberal Activist/Socialists that were appointed to the USSC (Sotomayer and Kagan) are removed as illegal appointees. Otherwise, we have them interfering with Constitutional issues for life.

IF the question of "Natural Born Citizenship" should EVER make its way to the USSC, we have AT LEASt 3 VOTES IN PLACE THERE FROM GINSBURG, KAGAN, AND SOTOMAYER that are self-serving/Socialist-inspired for sure, and the issue will NOT be ruled on the Merits (nor will any other issues they vote on), but rather will be agenda-driven attempts to subvert the Framers' intent, for sure.

We need to target for defeat ALL Senators that vote to confirm this specimen, and make sure they know WHY.

Republicans roll over on Democrat/Progressive/Socialist appointees, and the Democraps drag our appointees through the mud with made up crap.
