Kagan shouldn't be on the court.

I didn't like Miers for much the same reasons.

in reference to:

"President Obama has just nominated Elena Kagan, the 
current Solicitor General, to replace John Paul Stevens on the Court.  In 
many ways, Kagan mirrors Miers: a female legal eagle with no judicial 
experience, paper trail, or known guiding legal philosophy."

American Thinker: Stare Decisis: Not Quite What Senator Schumer Would Have You Believe

American Thinker: Stare Decisis: Not Quite What Senator Schumer Would Have You Believe:

"Led by Senator Charles Schumer, Senate Democrats are trying to bamboozle the American public into believing that Bush appointees to the Supreme Court are dangerous radicals.
Senator Schumer's suggestion and Justice Beyer's unusual and inappropriate complaint to Senator Specter that the newest members of the Supreme Court -- Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito -- are ignoring and overruling established precedent is of a piece with the mandarinate's general and untrue response to the Administration: the Mongols have taken over."


Does this mean that the bickering that has been the standard in Congress is going to start infecting the Supreme Court? There should be one body in this country that is above petty politics and that is the court.

Daily Kos: "Don't worry your pretty little head..."

Daily Kos: "Don't worry your pretty little head...":

"[L]last month’s Supreme Court decision upholding the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban
Act marked a milestone for a different argument advanced by anti-abortion
leaders, one they are increasingly making in state legislatures around the
country. They say that abortion, as a rule, is not in the best interest of the
woman; that women are often misled or ill-informed about its risks to their own
physical or emotional health; and that the interests of the pregnant woman and
the fetus are, in fact, the same...."


This is a stupid argument that womyn can't understand a simple medical operation with the help of a doctor. It is honestly unbelievable that these people are claiming that womyn need to be protected from themselves and their doctors this way. I think making abortions illegal is a great idea if this is the case, that way womyn can go to Mexico to get abortions from doctors they think are safe but aren't. The staff won't know or won't tell them what the problems might be, so they will not be able to understand the choice they are making clearly. Yes, take away a safe choice performed by an educated doctor, because womyn can't understand that choice. Sad.
