Solicitor General Elena Kagan

[BT]

If she takes on a leadership role but does not lead , just follows along , this is a worser problem than merely being wrong.

The time line does show she led, also shows she is capable of changing positions with changing circumstances.

She's pragmatic. hardly the radical anti-military zealot some are trying to paint her as.

And i doubt she will be called on to lead anymore than Clarence Thomas is called on to lead.

Weathervane.

Yeah They do what they are supposed to do, adapt to changing circumstances, much like Bush listening to the commanders on the ground.

Adaptability is not necessarily a bad thing.

so.....when are BT & Elena Kagan getting married?

so.....when are BT & Elena Kagan getting married?

We're not.

I just don't want to see the right do to Kagan what the left did to Palin.

You know, exaggerate shit just to demonize her. Because from what i see so far, the seat on the bench is hers to lose. Obama has the right to appoint whom he wants and the GOP doesn't have the votes to stop him.

And i really don't see them retaking the majorities by out-Borking the dems. I honestly think that will backfire on them.

I think the voting public wants them focused on the economy.

Palin?.....you gotta be kidding?
I wish Palin had got this kind of treatment!

demonizing is demonizing. does it really matter the scale?

[Plane]

demonizing is demonizing. does it really matter the scale?

Yes .

The scale is the diffrence between reasonable and excessive.

Should the right withhold all criticism because we know we are outnumbered?

Advise and consent implys due dilligence , isn't provideing an advasary part of the process of looking after the public intrest?

No but it would be nice if the criticism was not embellished.

[BT]

Yes .

The scale is the diffrence between reasonable and excessive.

So Hitler gets a pass because Stalin killed more?

Advise and consent implys due dilligence , isn't provideing an advasary part of the process of looking after the public intrest?

Due diligence implies getting the facts correct and reporting them fairly.

lemme know when Kagan:

has her e-mail criminally hacked and stolen.
 
is referred to on national TV/Letterman as having a "slutty flight attendant" look".
 
has a young teeneage daughter referred to on national TV/ Letterman as "being knocked up by A-Rod"
 
has a young daughter with Down's Syndrome made fun of on televsion.
 
is referred to as  "lipstick on a pig"

is caricatured as an inexperienced rube, a baby-making automaton, an uneducated underachiever,
a bad mother, trailer-park trash, a rightwing religious fanatic, a sexual fantasy, and of course,
a fascist.

when Salon Magazine likens her to a "dominatrix," or University of Michigan Middle East studies
professor Juan Cole compares her to a "Muslim fundamentalist" and a member of the Taliban.

when US Weekly runs a trashy cover story on Kagan titled, "Baby, Lies & Scandal"
(two months after a glowing cover story on the Obamas)

when mainstream media outlets run with a lurid rumor originating with an anonymous diarist
at the leftist blog Daily Kos that insinuated a son is actually her grandson

ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect etc etc

[BT]

She has already been called a lesbian by CBS and is under attack as unqualified due to lack of judicial experience. The WSJ journal has a picture of her playing softball that appears to make her look like a dyke.

It's early in the game, give the zealots time to come up with nasty ways to attack her.

Wasn't it you earlier in the thread advocating opening fire with both pistols drawn?


This country is in serious trouble, i don't see why we should waste our time going after a woman who is the Presidents choice to sit on the bench and the GOP doesn't have the votes to stop her.

Why waste time going through the motions. Focus on the important things that can be changed.

Like educating the electorate on Obama's consistent trend of piss more judgement & ideoligical extremism, in his effort to "fundamentally change" the way this country is going to work.  That's a very functional waste of time, IMHO, come 2010 & 12

[BT]

Like educating the electorate....

Yeah we have already covered numerous justices including Chief Justices who came to the bench with no previous experience.

Rehnquist and Warren come to mind.
