My thoughts on the SC nom amount to....I wonder what guy on SNL is going to play her in skits.

I'm not sure what to make of the Kagan nomination.

I've already read comments on Facebook about how OF COURSE a POTUS with no experience governing (a state) would nominate someone for the SC who has no experience as a judge.

Yesterday on the way home, some yuk-it-up DJ was talking about how she looks like Kevin James. Love the gender conformity policing.

And I read somewhere yesterday that there are rumors she's a lesbian, which is going to make the confirmation process verrrrrrrry ugly.

Bah.

OF COURSE a POTUS with no experience governing (a state) would nominate someone for the SC who has no experience as a judge.

This is funny:

NOMINEES WITHOUT JUDICIAL EXPERIENCE ARE GREAT, EXCEPT WHEN THEY’RE … DEMOCRATS! Senator John Cornyn (Wingnut-TX) thought it would be “very beneficial” to have a bird-brain non-judge like Harriet Miers on the Supreme Court, because she would have a non-judicial “grounding in reality and common sense” lacking in professional judges. But Elena Kagan is a terrible choice “because she lacks judicial experience.”

I don't think this is going to come up during the confirmation process. I doubt it will actually be ugly at all, relatively speaking. There will be some idiots spouting off, but there's just not much on the record about her.

The rhetoric has gotten ugly already.

she's been a strong advocate of gay rights, and she's an unmarried, accomplished woman. Of course she's a lesbian. @@

Not during the actual confirmation hoo-ha, but, as Daisy said, the rhetoric around it? Ain't pretty.

::looks askance at Vortex in that sexy, ironic way::

I am distressed by how close she is in age to me. It's making me feel severely under-accomplished. That's the Lisa take on the matter.

No. Kidding. Lisa is I. Or I am she.

I am in paperwork hell. Is there a patron saint of paperwork? If there is, I beseech her.

Saint Juan is the patron saint of paper. Maybe he could help you?
