“The only mild surprise in Monday’s hearing was the degree to which Democrats and Republicans both made clear that they intend to hold Kagan to her words in a 1995 law review article that faulted the Senate for allowing nominees like Ruth Bade Ginsburg and Steven Breyer to get away with superficial and evasive answers.”
Good!
That’s good news. I look forward to these hearings.
I will be watching, Constitution in one hand, Kleenex in the other.
How did we come to this?
To …………………….?
Just make sure you blow your nose on the right product. Just sayin’…
Considering all the dissonance created by the right and the left over Kagan’s nomination, these hearings have the potential to be much more entertaining than the Sotomayor hearings. I’ve only seen parts of the opening salvos…(Leahy’s administering of the oath…”…the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth… SO..HELP..YOU..GOD!…sticks in my mind…). But considering the fact politicians rarely avoid a chance to make complete asses out of themselves…and considering the fact this could be the last chance some Republicans have to show their contempt for all things Obama before lining up to trade a tax increase for Obama’s version of the “austerity measures” driving millions into the streets in Greece and France…and given the fact this could be the last chance for the Democrats demonstrate their “Empathy Tourettes” before lining up to approve those austerity measures….this could be fun.
She’ll be approved…and rightfully so…but from a purely scientific standpoint, these hearings could result in another whole chapter being added to The Bullshit Quotient“. An appendix maybe.
Then there’s entertainment value for the both of us. I thought Leahy’s emphasis was theatrical, too, but that was pretty much all that stuck out for me — save for one moment when I believe the nominee was fishing inside her jacket to adjust her bra strap.
There certainly hasn’t been much comic relief on what I’ve been able to watch so far…
But comedian congressman…or is it congressman comedian….Al Franken’s snooze the other day has been a source of a couple good chuckles……
I don’t know what the hell happened to the youtube…but the whether is changing……
On this morning’s “The Takeaway:”
“a new study… shows that women and minority candidates are often questioned more thoroughly and pressed further on their judicial philosophies. ”

Hmmmm. Stealing this.
I’ll be sitting out all but the most superficial coverage. “Supreme Court nominee Kagan enters another day of her confirmation hearings” – and I’m done. These grandstanding opportunities nauseate me.
And I am strnagely drawn to them. I’m sick like that.
Crap! I got drawn in by the Alabama asshole, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, bellyaching because Kagan didn’t recruit the entire Harvard Law School class for the JAG Corps. I think there’s a little sour grapes going on because he was denied a judgeship a while back. The racist reasons for that can be found in this link. (Also notice that he bravely spent the Vietnam years in college and law school, and then signed up for the Reserves in 1973, rather than active duty.)

I am drawing a line through his name on my Xmas card list. I’m doing it in pencil right now, but will revisit in pen if I must.
On http://www.leftinalabama.com, Jeffie B.S. is sometimes referred to as the Keebler elf.
Oh, is he petite? Or prone to wearing funny hats?
Because he’s so darn cute? And has pointy ears? Bless his heart?
Notice the resemblance.

Absolutely. Dead ringer.
I damn sure wouldn’t eat any cookies he was offering!
Nooooooooo. Never. It’s the moonbat eyes that frighten me.
