Do they have “compelling” life stories too? That’s seem to be BO’s only requirement. What a crock.

Oh, no! The Kagan woman is only 49. That means, if she stays on the court as long as Stevens, she’ll be there for the next FORTY years. Think about that for a minute.

I wont be surprised if it’s Kagan, but as far as I’m concerned, her determined effort to keep military recruiters off the campus of Harvard Law school disqualify her.

But confirmation depends on whether the GOP members of the Judiciary Committee feel as I do. If they are horrified as I am, Obummer would do well to choose someone who is not so blatantly disrespectful of our military.
