Elena Kagan is on the Supreme Court bench for one reason only: as a cheerleader for the Obama agenda, most of which will be tested by court challenges for many years to come. The “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” is only the first of many to be presented, but by no means the last.
She does not have judicial temperment, nor sufficient practical experience in Constitutional law, to rule competently on ANY issue concerning the interpretation of existing law, precedents, and ramifications of rulings relating to the constitutional basis for any of the Obama agenda.
With no clue as to the meaning of most of the Bill of Rights, or the spirit behind which these provisions came to be included in the Constitution, she is unfit for the office to which she is appointed.
Harriet Miers would have been a far better choice to be placed on the Supreme Court, but she was threatened with a much more rudely applied anal exam than Kagan has ever been subjected to.
I’d see Kagan replaced with Miers in a New York minute, but as a Republican/conservative standard bearer, Miers was underwhelming. Bush did a lot better with Roberts and Alito.
