Show me ze papers, Ms. Kagan..

[equalitybeforethelaw]

This should make for fun watching. I wonder how the media can spin opacity as a virture?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just shut up and confirm her!

You don't need any damned facts!

It's racist for you to demand facts!

[Faith]

Thank goodness that someone had the guts to stand up to this rushed attempt to confirm.

[ReneeLynn]

Does this mean it’s time for someone to stuff those files down their pants and just walk off?

[Hoodat]

Thank God there is actually a Republican Senator who still had the fortitude to say this. I never would have gotten this from my two RINOs here in Georgia.

[Paladin2]

I think we should wait until well after Jan 20, 2011.

Sorry your thread got ruined by the troll. Do you want to just start over?

[hondact200]

I agree the Clinton Era records must be made available. look at the the track record of the Obozo Administration Holder former Clinton idiot is an imbecile

[evets]

I just hit 23 free throws in a row!

Gee Jeff, what’s WRONG with you? Just be like Orrin Hatch. Tell her how tremendously delighted you are at having her before the committee, then sleep for a couple of days and vote to confirm. It’s kept Hatch in the senate forever. Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking of what’s best for the NATION??!! Does Orrin KNOW about you?

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Judiciary Committee chairman, last week set hearings to begin on June 28. Sessions said Republicans would ask for a delay unless senators get access to the tens of thousands of pages of Clinton-era records by then

...but will they read those tens of thousands of pages, when most can't (or won't) read a 17 page AZ bill (1070) to see what is in it?

[Bluebeard16]

Is it just me or do I hear the sound of a paper shredder?

[prairiebreeze]

Perhaps the papers in question ended up in Sandy Bergers socks and jock.

[TSgt]

Norm, you might get the FR title of most posts pulled in a thread!

Wait, I think the religion threads might have you beat...

;-)

“I don't believe that this committee can go forward with an adequate hearing” without all records from Kagan’s tenure as a White House counsel and then domestic policy adviser to President Bill Clinton.

“I don't believe” is the key word here my guess is that the hearing will go as planned and she will be confirmed. The republicans always huff and puff and just when you are rooting them on they cave. Everything this new Pres has pushed had gotten done. I know that Democrats are in the majority but things have gotten out of committee because of RINOS. I am a Negative Nellie when it comes to anything about the Demon and Chief that's right I called O a demon because I think he is

“We’re heading to what could be a train wreck,”

It’s comical to think how many Obama initiatives might have been preceded by this very same statement:
a) health care reform;
b) cash for clunkers;
c) porkulus;
d) cap and trade;
e) immigration reform;
etc. etc. etc.

Even after this administration is consigned to the dust-heap of history, there will be endless debates over whether this unending series of train-wrecks was deliberate (a crisis is a terrible thing to waste) or the natural consequence of electing the least experienced president within the memory of anyone living.

He Shoots ... HE SCORES!!

Kagan is the least judicially experienced nominee in a LONG time. She needs vetted ... she has a troubling hero: http://patterico.com/2010/05/24/elena-kagans-judicial-hero/ Great to see some spine found in the Senatorial cloakroom.

This is awesome! I hope I get to watch the Hildabeast’s head spin around a full 360. She is so protective of her files it isn’t even funny. Our military took less time to get to Bahgdad during the Iraq invasion than it took her to find “misplaced” files during her tenure as first “lady” of the US. I’m looking forward to seeing these files.
