The Dem are not stupid like the republicans in that they don’t put people in that are so old that are going to die in 5 years. However they are corrupting this country with there sicko picks just like they corrupt in everything they do.

6/8 protestants voted for Roe.

I’m really not sure why we should support more protestants on the court when they did a terrible job with it.

Considering that he likes to do historic things, is she the first “gender neutral” candidate for supreme Court?

As a black female I’m a bit ticked that he couldn’t find a strong black woman to represent on the court.

“a champion of typical Americans”

The typical American is not gay.

It’s an interesting factoid, but really not relevent vis`a`vis Catholics.

Of course, then there are the fake Catholics...(liberation theology, or Ted Kennedy)

I’m glad that they’re (officially) Christians. Surprised Uhbama didn’t give us a Moslem. You know he wants to.

"Pathetic. This is where we've ended up."

If you would you replace Roberts, Alito, Thomas simply because they are Catholic that would make you a bigot.

...primary qualification to the SCOTUS should be a robust knowledge of and devotion to the literal reading and interpretation of Constitution of the United States.

Since this woman has never been a judge, and cannot claim that "primary qualification" it is an INSULT TO THE OTHER JUSTICES THAT SHE IS EVEN BEING CONSIDERED. Really, if I were on the Supreme Court, after having a background that many of them can claim, and this woman comes along...and is appointed...I would feel that my record and past accomplishments, and knowledge, has been demeaned.

How very insulting this candidate Kagan is to them who have served, no matter what their views and positions are. Obama may as well select Bozo the Clown, for Heaven's sake. But, I guess since Zero is a man of few accomplishments, and no leadership backgound, he probably figures that experience in anything just is not important anymore. As long as someone is willing to kiss up to the king Zero, that is all he wants.

Wasn't Kagan the dean of the law school where the mysterious community organizer of questionable eligibility credentials; HusseinO, got his mysterious magna cum laude law degree credentials ? Wasn't husseinO tight buddies with kagan back in those mysterious college days ?

So that’s the only reason to back her? Because she’s a woman?

Isn’t that sexism?

RE: “Fear not. Her resemblance to Chaz (nee Chastity) Bono suggests that we may be back to two before too long”

Agree — was thinking yesterday when I saw Kagan’s picture, ‘THAT’S a woman?????’ I, too, see the Chaz Bono resemblance!

In my opinion, being a judge doesn’t automatically mean you have a “robust knowledge and devotion to the literal reading and interpretation of Constitution of the United States” so the fact that she hasn’t been a judge doesn’t bother me. After all, Ruth Bader Ginsberg had a long history on the bench before her role on the SCOTUS and think it’s a disservice to this country that she sits on the highest bench in the Land.

What bothers me about Kagan is her liberal slant on the Constitution and the role of the government in our lives.

WHY THE HELL DOES EVERYTHING LEFTISTS/LIBS DO HAVE TO BE A FIRST FOR SOME MINORITY ISSUE!!!?????

“This will be the first time in American History that a lesbian female with one eye was born at an altitude of over 5000’ blah blah blah.”

THEIR GENDER, RACE, PERVERSION, ETHNICITY SHOULD BE SECONDARY TO THEIR QUALIFICATIONS, IF THEY HAVE ANY THAT ARE RELEVANT.
