Estrada may have been technically correct that Kagan was “qualified” for SCOTUS as described, but the decisions that she reaches and rulings are in flagrant violation of the spirit and word of the Constitution in almost every instance.

Temperament, intellect and qualifications don’t matter if they’re going to take a sledgehammer to the Constitution and impose their own personal agenda.

I bitterly disagree with Estrada’s point that any President should be given carte blanche to put a person on the court that resembles their ideology. That must be halted where said individual seeks to illegally and willfully dismantle the rule of law and the Constitution.

A left-winger cannot serve in any judicial capacity because their oath to uphold the Constitution is a falsehood (and same goes for virtually any office - but at least in the case of the legislative, they are legally permitted to pass new laws or repeal old ones, so long as they are not unconstitutional - although again, that tends to get in the way of their agenda).

This should be engraved on a tablet of slate and then glazed.

Very true.

I wrote that it "changed my view" of her.

I still don't like her ideological rulings. But in The Swamp, ideo gonna logical...
