This is not new news nor is it a particularly surprising or insightful conclusion. But it is the very banality of the observation that is so appalling. With this declaration the left acknowledges the thorough politicization of the supreme court. Kagan is a guaranteed vote. It no longer matters what the issue is or what the Constitution says, it matters only whether the left can stuff The Court with its faithful adherents. It matters only who decides.
The left has succeeded in politicizing the one branch of government which should have been free from the baleful effects of their leftist poison. There is not an institution they have left alone from education to even including the weather. Small wonder that the Congress has segregated itself into respective camps.
What does one say to a litigant before the Supreme Court of the United States of America: sorry, you lost because the other side won the last election and put their Justice in?
One last observation: this is merely the inevitable corollary to the Democrats' demagoguery concerning race, class, and gender. If the Democrats can collar 95% of the African-American vote because they run a black candidate for president, then white voters are fully justified in voting for someone on the basis of race. If the Democrats politicize the court and turn this into a country not of laws but of men, then every thinking and voting citizen is a fool if he does not vote his race, his class, and his/her gender.
