"The law must control the judge; the judge must not control the law. I have concluded that...General Kagan regrettably does not meet this standard."

Perfect. Orrin finally connects.

Guessing Orrin got scared by Bennett’s loss.

The problem is that Neither Hatch nor McConnell will filibuster, and have promised not to, which makes their opposition as effective as mine.

This thing despises the natural law underlying the Declaration and the Constitution.

Thou shalt have no other god before a despot from Harvard, Barry be his name.

Thank you Orrin, 1-202-224-5251.

It is moot anyways. More Dems in the Senate than Republicans.

Maybe next time the sit at home and third party loons will understand they are enabling the Democrats by keeping them the majority

Republicans have the votes to stop her if they have the spine.

We have to target those that support her for defeat in their next election.

"In his statement, Hatch said that while other Supreme Court justices had no prior judicial experience, like Kagan, they did have “an average of 21 years in private legal practice. General Kagan has two.”"

WHO is General Kagan???

Ah well, anything to cut costs.
