The questioning process got under way for Elana Kagan today. The two political parties have been locked into this paradigm of do unto others as you would never want it done to you.
So, when there’s a Republican nomination, the Democrats go on a feeding frenzy, and when we have a Democratic nominees like Elana, it’s full bore ahead with the prospect of a FILIBUSTER bombing if need be. It seems as though this is the nature of politics. Kill the other person before they kill you, but above all, do the best hatchet job you can.
I am neither Republican nor Democrat. My “internal operating system” is more geared to individualism with compassion ( combination of some of the proclamations of both parties) ; however, saying you’re a compassionate conservative and BEING one is two different worlds.
Supreme Court nominee Elana Kagan pledged on Monday to do her best to consider “every case impartially, modestly, with commitment to principle and in accordance with law” if appointed to the nation’s highest court. Speaking on the first day of her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kagan said the court must ensure that “our government never oversteps its proper bounds or violates the rights of individuals.”
Right, and who really believes that especially after having looked at her record!
Kagan’s opening testimony marked the beginning of a marathon high-pressure vetting by the committee, in which members will scrutinize her record. Her remarks also came after the GOP, including the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, voiced concerns over the 50-year-old solicitor general, telling the panel that her career has been “consumed more by politics than law.”
If it wasn’t that, it would be something else I am sure.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., ranking Republican on the panel, said Kagan’s record warrants close questioning as the Senate considers her appointment to the nation’s highest court. “Ms. Kagan certainly has numerous talents and good qualities, but there are serious concerns about this nomination,” he said. Is anyone really surprised by his statements?
Let the show continue!
