Here's some info on her:

Obama to Nominate Kagan to Court - WSJ.com

Her decision to keep the military from recruiting at Harvard Law School that was defeated unanimously by the SCOTUS isn't a good sign about her understanding of Constitutional Law

Will be interesting to see how she explains that one during conf. hearings.

Based on just that WSJ article, seems like she is a left-leaning moderate, but not an ideologue and enjoys a good relationship with a number of conservatives.

I know this is irrelevant (and sexist) but have you seen her picture? She almost makes Janet Reno look good.

if this woman is nominated by hussein, then she's a leftist ideologue. do you really think obama cares how much 'experience' she has? he doesn't care. he know she's an education elitist and she is going to side with every leftist group, law or policy for 'social justice' don't be suprised.

Most radical leftist SCOTUS nominee in the history of America.

First in almost forty years without prior judicial experience.

As the youngest at age 50, if confirmed she may be on the panel for up to forty years.

First openly homosexual justice nominee.

All I can say is; 'oink, oink oink!'

1) “Progressive” (in the extreme)

2) Belives in a “Living Constitution” (sort of like the guy said about scientoloty, it is what I say it is.)

3) Thinks the primary purpose of government is to bring about “Social Justice” (aka Ivy League elites should dictate all aspects of life in America)

4) Not only entrenched in Ivy League circles but has strong Chicago connections (so did Al Capone)

5) Could pass for the less attractive brother of the guy from “The King of Queens” TV show. (that's being generous.)

You are exactly right, he would not have nominated her if he didn't already know she is a left wing nut.

well the fact is that we are seeing our final days as a great country. we are going broke as a nation, we are following greece and many european countries. we have a a liberal government that will not quit giving handouts and a people who will not stop wanting handouts. America will give 1 trillion in loans to a socialist country who has no intentions of changing the policy that got them into the mess. socialism has destroyed greece and in a few years it will destroy this nation.

If she is confirmed, the Supreme Court will be made up of 3 Jewish justices and 6 Catholic justices. The first time in history that the Supreme Court was without a Protestant representative on the court

Does anyone see a problem with this?

No - so long as the justices rule based on the law then I don't give a crap about their religion.

I don't know anything about her.

Glad to see all of you are keeping an open mind aobut her since you also don't know a thing about her.

Oh, wait. Almost forgot. Since she is nominated by Obama, and you are sworn to do everything in your power to decry every move he makes, even if it makes perfect sense, you are obliged to criticize this selection, as well.

Sorry, almost forgot your knee-jerk anti-Obama at all costs role in the matter. Whew!

Okay, if we're wrong, we'll admit it. If she's what we expect, go away.

At this point my feelings are:

1) The POTUS gets to nominate; the Senate should confirm unless there are serious qualification issues - not just ideological differences.

2) It could be much worse - so far I don't see this nominee as left as I had feared.

This! So sick of confirmation hearing grandstand by all parties. Face it, conservative presidents nominate conservate judges, liberal predidents nominate liberal judges. Never going to change, and probably shouldn't if you think about it.

the problem is the liberal side does more than read the law, they try to have a hand in making law. conservative judges are not activist as the libs are.

Not so sure about that. Two cases in particular are cited as examples of Judicial Activisim.

1) Brown v. Board of Education - liberal activism
2) Citizens United v. FEC - conservative activism

Activism occurs one way or another. This may be good or bad depending on your view. BUT I don't think it's solid basis for the grandstanding confirmation hearings that both parties engage in.

I wished you were right, unfortunately we have had Republican Presidents duped and pick liberal judges. And its the Dems who have blocked justices nominated by Republican Presidents.

MSNBC just reported on this. The biggest nugget of info they had........... she's a rabid White Sox fan.

I feel so much better now.

The best thing I can hope for is none of the Conservatives judges retiring until Obama is gone.
