I'll be interested in the hearings. 

I'm not troubled too much by the lack of judicial experience.  Some of the rest of rest of it needs to be fleshed out.  I'd be interested in her academic papers.

It seems a lot of you guys just want an excuse to bash Obama. Don't kid yourselves, she'll probably be a consistently liberal justice.

Just like Souter is a rightwinger?

Okay, she looks like Jon Lovitz in a dress, but let's wait and see what the confirmation process uncovers.

The truth is that among female justices, only Ginsburg was any good, but it is also generally true that people tend to move left on the Court rather than right, so this Kagan might not be all bad.  Once she stops having to worry about popular opinion and politicians and so forth, she may do the 'right' thing.

Ever here Byron White?
