Kagan responded that "once a court decides a case as it did, it's binding precedent." And she said judges must respect a precedent unless it proves unworkable or new facts emerge that would change the circumstances of a case.

It is not the court's role to decide if a law, much less a constitutional provision, is unworkable. That is a political decision. A judge must restrict himself to asking what does the law actually say.

She’s a Leftist. Everything America stands for is unworkable to them.

Another Obama junk pick that we’ll suffer under for decades.
