Boring or not, Kagan’s possible confirmation will affect American lives many orders of magnitude more than any sports game.
I keep hoping but I don’t know why that one of these wackadoodles will see the light and start telling the truth and understand how totally crazy they have become. sigh.

Well, based on what we have seen and heard, “getting things done” means spinning and rewriting the Constitution to support the “legalization” of an oppressive, unlimited government and the crushing of individual rights and freedoms. There probably will not be much time for silly notions like upholding the written law and the Constitution as these activists had sworn to do. Such old fashioned silliness.
Elena Kagan is clearly a leftist who will, in effect, vote to deny Americans their constitutional rights by 'getting things done' on the Supreme Court. My frustration lies in the fact that some 'go along to get along' (nominal) Republicans will happily go along with their left-wing senate colleagues and vote for her instead of pointing out her wrong-headed views and voting 'Nay'.
I can't wait until the November election to vent my frustration with some politicians - but I fear it will be too late, by then.
“But liberals see the Supreme Court as their backup legislature, giving them all the laws Democrats can’t pass themselves because they’d be voted out of office if they did..”
Pretty much sums it up.
One minor correction. It should have been referred to as a “Most boring ‘made-for-TV’ event”.
It just goes to prove the saying that “ People who love sausage and people who believe in government should never watch either of them being made.”
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
Congress, as the people's elected representatives, is supposed to "get things done." If they don't, that usually means the people don't want those things done. It's not the court's job to say: "Hey, Congress, you forgot to enact this! Don't worry, we'll take care of it."A quibble - Congress doesn't "get things done," either. That's the executive's job. Congress writes the rulebook, subordinate to the Constitution - and SCOTUS pronounces judgement on the conformance of the acts of the President to the Constitution and, secondarily, to the laws written by Congress.
It's not a misunderstanding, Ann... it's a desire.
