Well, it's a done deal, as they say. |

I had hoped there would be someone a pinch more moderate, but anticipated this result. The good news is that the vote tally is the same, the bad news is how long she will hold that position. |

Maybe there is something in this mess that could bump her out after 2012 (wishful thinking!). Edited by kbp, Aug 5 2010, 03:47 PM.

One can hope and pray that Ginsburg makes good on her promise not to retire and that a Republican will be at the helm of the executive branch and that the party will have a majority in the Senate the next time a court vacancy occurs. |

"...judging is about more than power and influence. It's also, indeed most fundamentally, about independence and integrity" I could overlook the "independence". That might be taken a few ways, so long as it was not meant to be independent of the text in the laws. The “power” and “influence” sure say quite a bit. Certainly not the best words to use there! The entire article is interesting, as it seems to touch on a few cases from a rather balanced look at them. |

On the other hand, God has other ways of disposing of justices (and other people). Of course, we would not wish Ms. Kagan any kind of bad health or an accident - but He might not ask any of us...

Lindsay Graham cites the "Golden Rule" as inspiration to vote for Kagan: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/70676 (If this is his logic, then why doesn't Lindsay just cite the Golden Rule and vote along with the Democrats every time they bring forth a bill?) |

He does vote along with the Dem's OFTEN. *************** I should have put this post here, instead of the Open Thread. It applies to HOW the liberals hope to eliminate the problem of Kagan having to recuse herself, as new Justices often must for a year or two.

Lindsey Graham is long overdue for a vacation - a really long vacation decided at the polls. |

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/70774 There may be more cases for Kagan to recuse herself than I had realized. She does have more history as an attorney on one side or the other than most judges have involving cases they had resided over. Maybe the Dem's had been working on that 'tag team' solution for some time now and it just fits in even better with Kagan there now. |
