They're unlikely companions but they do have some things in common.
Neither has any experience or qualifications for their jobs. Neither has a paper trail to speak of. Both have inclinations that are, ahem, slightly out of the mainstream.
When things get weird, the weird turn pro, or something like that.
I don’t know why I’m so shocked and grieved now. It’s not like her coming had no announcement or warning. Maybe I felt the GOP would find its collective backbone and filibuster the dyke, and the Bummer would give in, or at worst slip her in for a recess appointment of a year. It would be nice if there were a way of putting rookie supreme justices on probation all the time, then after a year if the Senate frowned they would be out and the president would have to try again. Ahh, a constitutional convention called by the states sounds better and better — and what kind of liberal guff can you really cram past 38 state legislatures?
Thanks for letting me vent. From FR I learn the news that drives me crazy, then on FR I get it off my chest. If I weren’t a freeper I would probably think “whatever” to Ms. Kagan.
