#1 If she's so worried about it why doesn't she provide that middle position vote?

#2 *Spit!* The classic natterings of an ideologue -- "You are can only be 'moderate' if you agree with ME!"

#3 Maybe a beer summit will help. No witnesses this time.

#4 ...and Kennedy could be replaced with someone (Judge Brett Kavanaugh) whose views fall more on the conservative spectrum.

You mean has been replaced. And if your goon squads didn't go after Kavanaugh like you did, there would have been a chance that would still be the case. Instead, you'll get someone as far to the right as Clarence Thomas, if not more so, and for the same reason, for at least thirty years.

#5 Maybe the Republicans should impeach and remove Kagan and the other one. What's fair for them is repair for us

#6 The problem with that is Congress is not filled with Trumps; that's why it won't happen. That said, I'm happy with the small brass balls that the Senate GOP developed over the past few weeks. Grassley gets the big pair out of the bunch.

#7 Somehow I doubt Kagan would be voicing any objections at all if Hillary (spit) had won and appointed two more hard left ideologues to the Court.

File this one under "the lamentations of their women."

#8 Kagan was the Dean at Harvard Law School who hired Kavanaugh to teach 100s of law students during the past 11 years. Now, she questions whether he should be on SCOTUS for political reasons? Where's the blind lady of justice? Damned leftist idealogues!

#10 Kagan's a pig. And, oh, BTW, how did her nomination process go?

#11 I believe Kagan has just made the basis of recusal to any Trump cases before the court. Throw in Ginsberg's comments during the election, that's two recusals. Now let's talk about 'legitimacy' if you don't.

#12 I would argue that it may be legitimate now that Kavanaugh is appointed. But only time will tell. The court should have been leaning conservative for years yet seemingly conservative judges actually leaned left. If Kagan wants a middle of the road justice then she is more than welcome to fill that role.

#13 They appear to have Roberts as the middle/unpredictable vote.

#14 Ya know, I'm beginning to think whether I've been right to oppose this "living Constitution" bullshit all these years. See my forthcoming article, "Penumbras of the Second Amendment: The M1A2 Abrams As A Militia Weapon".

#18 When the four libs vote in lockstep, the conservatives should do the same. That would be 99% of the time

#19 Is she saying appearances are more important than the Constitution? A supreme court justice actually said that?
