Elections have consequences muffy. Irregardless the Constitution is all that matters, not that you would know anything about that.

That’s a reflection of our deeply divided country.

She needs to explain exactly why you would need a “swing vote” if every justice is defending and protecting the constitution of the United States. Seems to me she took an oath to that effect.

If she wants a ‘swing vote’ in the Court, she has all the power in the world to make that happen.

Associate Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan said Friday she fears the high court may lack a justice going forward who would serve as a swing-vote on cases, speaking hours after President Trump's second nominee Brett Kavanaugh secured enough votes to be confirmed.

Step up, Honey.

> Kagan warns that Supreme Court may not have a swing vote anymore <

Kagan is right! She should resign in protest.

The Constitution is not as ambiguous as decades of divided votes because of post-17th Amendment ratification, post-FDR era activist Supreme Court justices would lead us to believe.

This is unprecedented for a justice to talk politically about the court. Especially at a time like this.

Kagan is an academic justice, not a judicial one. She has no paper trail or prior judicial experience. But yet The Stupid Party still voted for her.

How many million children have been murdered in their mothers’ wombs because a swing vote couldn’t muster the courage to distinguish between what was right from what was trendy?

There will always be a swing with nine. After the next confirmation, it will be Sam Alito.

Kagan totally out of bounds here with this unprecedented remark.
