#2 Were you hoping for another Scalia?
Who did you think they would nominate?

Kagan has no killer flaw, she's in.
I don't like it any more than you, but look where we're at. Socialist in WH, Dems in control of all Congress.

#3 The essential problem is that the very idea of being a judge is to show judgment. The conservative side of the bench consistently does this, researching, debating, arguing, justifying, and writing very well thought out opinions supporting their decisions.

The liberal side of the bench just votes as a monolithic block. Little or no thought involved, they know how they are going to vote within a minute after they see the subject of the case for the first time. No deep consideration, just knee-jerk response. This is not good judgment, or any judgment at all.

To make matters worse, the liberal side cling to their seats until they are assured that they will get a replacement that is just like them. Not just philosophically, but their own particular subgroup.

This is why the justice Ginsburg will not retire now, because in her mind, her seat is now the "liberal Jewish seat", and she does not trust Obama to put a liberal Jew in it.

Likewise, that is why the left was so outraged with the nomination of Clarence Thomas. He "stole" Thurgood Marshall's seat, "just because he was black", and not a "real black", a liberal.

This puts all of America and our civil liberties at jeopardy. We are literally "one heartbeat away" from having a totally leftist court, that could reverse MacDonald, approve Obamacare, resurrect Roe, and rubber stamp anything Obama wanted.

Without even reading it, much less caring about oral arguments.

#4 The wit and sophistication of a 5th grader caught passing notes. The lack of conviction to admit one's own work.
