“Elena Kagan. Nominated: May 10, 2010. Confirmed: August 5, 2010. Rating: “ Well Qualified” by unanimous vote of the Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary (one abstention)”

The Standing Committee does not propose, endorse, or recommend nominees. Its sole function is to evaluate a nominee’s integrity, professional competence, and judicial temperament, and then rate the nominee either “Well Qualified,” “Qualified,” or “Not Qualified.”

ROFLMBO... oh, wait... it gets better...

The Standing Committee did not base its rating on, or seek to express any view regarding General Kagan’s ideology, political views or political affiliation. It also did not solicit information with regard to how General Kagan might vote on specific issues or cases that might come before the Supreme Court of the United States. Rather, the Standing Committee’s evaluation of General Kagan is based solely on a comprehensive, nonpartisan, nonideological peer review of the nominee’s integrity, professional competence, and judicial temperament.
