Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is telling senators she'll do her best to consider cases impartially and with judicial humility, as she begins Judiciary Committee hearings facing Republicans charges that she'd let her political views color her decisions as a justice.

"I will do my best to consider every case impartially, modestly, with commitment to principle, and in accordance with law," Kagan plans to tell senators as she heads into a marathon week of high-pressure vetting before the Judiciary panel, pressing to portray herself as a mainstream addition to the court.

The only thing this woman will be impartial about involves an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Perjury? Would that be the correct charge for such a blatant lie?

Impartial to what? Her views? The trouble with words like “impartial” and “objective” is they don’t reveal ones perspective.

If I were part of the grilling team, I would focus on her of the 1st and 2nd Amendment. Even moonbats seem to mostly understand the threat of eroding the 1st Amendment.

I see where the AP has already re-written their first sentence of the story, already and the Strib has also re-written their headline....

AP: “ Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan pledged Monday to be properly deferential to Congress if confirmed as a justice.....”

I didn't say I'd FOUND the writings. I'm just saying they MIGHT exist. Y'know, like the Easter Bunny. Or an honest Democrat who lives in DC.

I have a couple of them saved as PDFs on my other computer. However, I think they may have killed the computer by being so very awful.....

I hope the Repubs have spine enough to Bork her, and Bork her GOOD!

Sorry. There have been NO Republican spine sightings in decades. Besides, they have already conceded her confirmation.

For even considering this 'womyn' for the Supreme Court; the U.S. Senate should no longer be taken seriously as a 'legislative' body.

Idiots. A national embarrassment.

So she’s permitted to lie like Biden at her confirmation hearing? (see my profile page for an example of Joe Biden’s lies at Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearing).

That’s why Bozo is suppressing her records. “

Obozo froze or suppressed his own records.

that is the only thing he has proven that he is good at.
