Obama Nominates Elena Kagan to be Next Supreme Court Justice

[Bo]

I'm glad Obama didn't pick Wood.

Another fail from Obama. Maybe when the Republicans gain 6 Senate seats, he'll appoint Robert Bork.

Please, yes. Bork deserved to get on the SC decades ago. That stupid Ted Kennedy!

[Bo]

Bork deserved to get on the SC decades ago.

Bork was a legal genius.

Exactly. The Democrats should have let him get into the SC and voted down Thomas, not the other way around.

[Bo]

Dumbass.

Are you referring to the President as a "dumbass?"  Or to Ms. (Mrs?) Kagan?

Mr. Obama. I believe that Wood would have been a better pick.

For what reasons, specifically. Her experience, support of partial-birth abortion, Kagan's ties with Goldman Sachs, or something else?

[Bo]

After doing some brief readings on her, I've decided that I'll be find with her on the Supreme Court. I couldn't really ask for anything better from Obama, policy-wise. I look foward to what she will do in the court. I also like the fact that she at least encouraged Clinton to ban late-term abortions. She could be a lot worse...

If you like her, relative to who Obama COULD pick, you're going to love his next pick (Garland).

What makes you think Garland will be his next pick? (I have heard good things about Garland, though)

The GOP will hold more seats in the next Senate, so Obama wants someone more moderate next time.
