Justice never takes a holiday

This is for the 81% of Americans who don't know who Elena Kagan is.
A new C-SPAN poll of 1,512 voters finds far more ignorance about this year's Barack Obama choice for the Supreme Court than last year's of Sonia Sotomayor. Kagan's Senate confirmation hearings start later today before the Judiciary Committee and national TV cameras.
Only 19% could name Kagan, who was Obama's solicitor general, less than half the 43% who could name Sotomayor at the start of her confirmation.
From a sales point of view, voter ignorance doesn't much matter on this issue, unless you're a senator. And given the high partisanship of some recent court confirmation hearings, not being widely known could be a good thing for the Democratic White House. While Kagan's been on Capitol Hill all chatty with key senators in recent weeks, most of the country has been focused on the gulf coast.

This is worrisome as it is an indicator of how many Americans are tuned into what kind of threat the Obama administration poses to our liberties. Not very many, it would seem.
Kagen ? I thought that was a type of natural childbirth maneuver ?

They are definitely flying her under the wire. The Coulter essay on her this week is damning.
I see those Jay Leno type sidewalk interviews where people demonstrate their utter stupidity, then we add in a biased media that fails to properly inform the public and I truly fear for the future of this country.
I don’t think most Americans could name more than a couple of Supreme Court justices anyway.
You’re giving “most Americans” far too much credit:
1%....LOL!
Destroy the Constitution of the United States, and its associated personal liberty.
She will also seek to remove peoples access to the courts.
Typical fascist fare out of history.
Do ya think it was purposeful that Obama’s kept it low key? Ya think?
Yet they vote.
