Sadly this horrible wretch will probably be confirmed. Obama really scraped the bottom of the barrel to find the worst possible nominee.

I thought Wood was worse, at least on abortion.

Right, because Kagan and Wood were the only two choices in the entire country who could have been picked for this job...

What's so horrible about her?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBqdKKKRrrg

She supports banning books

She stumbles on the question as to whether the government can tell people what to do.

When you need to resort to Thurgood Marshall bashing I think its safe to say you are scraping the bottom of the barrel and basically just heaving mud and hoping it sticks.

She couldn't even give a straight answer to how she'd interpret a law requiring Americans to eat 3 fruits and 3 vegetables a day. Yes or no Kagan?

She'll be confirmed by a fairly large margin, I'm guessing.  Republicans should be thankful here - Obama could've nominated somebody a lot more liberal.

You really think she's the most far-out of his possible choices?  I realize he has to nominate someone who can be confirmed, but there has to be others that are further left who could have made it through the process.

I've already tried faking it. It doesn't work.  The app is too smart for that.  I can't drive 3 mph, plus I would clog traffic.

I think the procedure is heinous too, States, but the reality is, being destroyed isn't going to happen.

Besides, isn't the ban still in place?(I'm a bit ignorant as to its current status)

She definitely wouldn't be my pick - I'm just saying it could've been a heck of a lot worse.

She wrote a memo encouraging Clinton to ban partial birth abortion with exceptions...

She isn't liberal.

They were not the only two possible choices. But you said Kagan was the worst possible choice, and considering she is slightly more anti-abortion than Diane Wood, I was surprised to hear you say that.

She should've just given a simple answer to the fruits and vegetables question today (which, oddly enough, the radio said was asked by Senator Santorum Huh).  Other than that, I think it's gone pretty smoothly.

Also, her reponse to Klobuchar's "Team Edward or Team Jacob?" question was pretty good: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/politics/2010/06/30/sot.klobuchar.kagan.twilight.cnn.html

Team Jacob all the way - he's a sexy piece of man meat.

I'm not liking what I hear about her views on free speech issues. I hope she doesn't get confirmed.

Kagan will vote with the pro-abortionists. She is bad on every issue.
