If justices followed the Constitution there would be no swing votes. ................................. Absolutely! Had I been the 1st to answer this, I would have said the court should be comprised of all swing voters. What she is saying is that Democrats won’t get their way most of the time. If they were all democrats there would be no complaints from them nor would they allow any.

But if the appointment was made by Hillary, none of this would matter.

Kagan... well never mind!

She wouldn’t be saying this if Hillary was the one nominating judges for the U.S. Supreme Court.

And if true, so. the. hell. what?

Nothing demands a scotus have a swing vote.

Where was the worry when scotus banked hard left in the 60s?

If the whole court were originalist, we wouldn’t have all this drama about swing votes and majorities.

I don’t fear that, I welcome it.

What I will welcome even more though is the Donald getting to appoint the replacements for Ruth Buzzard, Breyer and the Wide Latina.

So why can’t Kagan be the swing vote? hmm...
Because she votes lockstep against the US and with the democrat party.

Hey Elena;

Just wait until Trump picks a replacement for Ginsberg. Then see how you feel to out of tune with the others.

Kagan warns that the Supreme Court may not be able to legislate from the bench anymore.

Oh but I thought you Justices were supposed to be unbiased, nonpolitical, and even tempered?

Exactly - she complains that SCOTUS will be down to only 4 partisan liberals versus 5 who believe the law counts for something.
