Other than being hard on the eyes, I don't see this as surprising or controversial when it comes down to getting her approved.

Leahy is drooling he's so happy now........confirmed by August according to him.

Interesting, I wonder why he's so thrilled with her.

I'm sure you'll see him on the news soon and perhaps he'll explain his glee.  I was just reading into an article I just read.

Here is a clip from a recent article:

Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont called Kagan, 50, a "superbly qualified candidate" who would "obviously" be confirmed this summer before the chamber leaves for a monthlong break. His panel will hold Kagan's confirmation hearings.

The articles today make it seem like it's going to be an uphill battle.......we'll see.

Well the media won't question Obama, so no worries there.

Then you don't watch. Anything. After watching Countdown and Maddow last night I got plenty of anti-Kagan opinion.

Yeah, Olbermann is not a happy man it seems.......

We haven't heard much of this lately. Has it be drowned out by other issues or is she just really dull?

When are the hearings scheduled?

I don't think the hearings are for a while yet since they're going through volumes of papers.......but I'm bored with the Kagan stuff anyway.   Let's get it done and move on.
