WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama will nominate U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan to serve as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, NBC News

She’s a FDRQ. She needs to be filibustered.
Although I’m sure there are innumerable reasons she’d make a lousy SCt justice, the majority of lawyers never try a case in court so I don’t think this should be much of a disqualification.
It does not surprise me that Obama would nominate someone to the Supreme Court with no judicial experience. Her sex and sexual orientation are much more important when making a statement nomination. I doubt very much she is confirmed. This is a way for Obama to somewhat satisfy the progressives (but not all, as they think she is too moderate) and to get the GOP on record of voting against a woman. Whoever Obama nominates next is the real person he wants on the court and it will be very hard for the Republicans to stop two nominees in a row. The next nominee will be much more liberal.
“served as the Dean of Harvard Law School from 2003 to 2009”
moonbat material
if you were on FR 5 yrs ago you would have seen all the freepers complaining that W wimped out by picking Roberts and how he’d turn out to be another Souter.
people jump to conclusions.
That is one of the greatest reasons why we need to not let amnesty happen.
I’m sure Lindsey Graham will be so excited he’ll wet his panties!
Man. No question.
“The next nominee will be much more liberal.”
I agreed with you until the last sentence. This lady is ugly, a lezbo, and filled with hate. It is difficult to get much more liberal.
I fear you are correct. Worked for Bush to get Alito on the court.
Was it really necessary to post a pic?? I mean, I just ate for heaven’s sake!....uggghhhh...
More proof that being a liberal makes you ugly... ya know kind of like how Lucifer used to be beautiful then all the sin made him ugly....that’s liberalism...all the same
You are kind of wrong here. Despite her sexual leanings, she has written some things and supported positions that are fairly moderate. She has argued for many of the Bush administration policies on how to treat suspected terrorists, she does not believe there is a constitutional right to same sex marriage and she is not opposed to the death penalty. Now, she is much further on the left that anyone I want to see on the Court, but she is not as radical as some on her are trying to portray her. The next nominee will be, almost guaranteed.
She looks like Mike Myers in drag.
Sotomayor was an insult to all Americans. She is dumb, fat and ugly. Kagan at least is an intellect, although she is also fat and ugly. This appointment is not insulting. That is an improvement for Obama.
ROFL!!!
I don’t have a problem with her being lesbian, anyone he picks will be a leftie. I do wish though Repubs treat his picks the way he treated Bush’s: with disdain. They give him faR TOO MUCH deference. I see this as a way to take energy away from gay protests against him, and Hillary supporters (who would be impressed with a woman and or a lesbian.

I hope you’re right, but I remember her when Clinton was prez, and (believe it or not) they were talking about her. So, since then, getting her credentials in shape for a nomination fight would make a lot of sense, of the SC is your goal.
We shall see.
No mention of a husband in her bio. I’m completely shocked.
Sorry. Duty called. Ain’t it a shame one needs a cast iron stomach to discuss things political... ;^)
