Obama's Supreme Court Pick

Elena Kagan, Obama's Supreme Court Nominee, will be confirmed.

Knuckleheads on the Right continue to harm themselves by assailing people's sexuality. Kagan has led a very private life. What does her sexual orientation have to do with anything? None of her lover's are talking... so why is anybody else?

The real issue, to my mind, is that once again we have a Harvard/Yale/Columbia/Princeton Northeasterner being nominated to the Supreme Court. The fact that she was NOT a judge is only a plus. The fact that she has ZERO respect for the Constitution is a somewhat greater issue... still, she will be confirmed. But you never know. Elevation to Justice has sobered many others in the past, let us hope that will be the case again here.

Are there REALLY NO SMART PEOPLE from the South or the West? The High Court, if Kagan is nominated, will be comprised of 3 Jews and 6 Catholics, with nary a WASP in sight - and WASP's make up the largest segment of the population... and they used to run the joint... Sheash!

Or was this really just abortion balancing. Kind of like a modern day Missouri Compromise or Connecticut Compromise?

Our politics have never been so contentious. This pick was not one to make that situation any better.
