Obama's Harriett Miers, I mean Kagan
 
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_supreme_court

When the left appoints somebody who's never written on controversial issues, it's time to jettison the "unoffensive" approach to nominations.

We will have a court of nobodies with no abilities at this rate.

she's someone that has never took a difficult stand in her life.

The road to the Supreme Court is paved by gender and ethnic preference after having attended a requisite Ivy school. Boring, and no public controversies, combined with the correct political connections. And wham you get in.

She is boring, unimaginative and a Harriet Miers choice, but nobody will oppose. Geeze. We deserve what we get now.

So Borking only goes one way. Republicans are gutless.

NYTimes headline says she is a scholar but not a judge.

Umm, how can you publish two of three articles in your entire career and be considered a scholar?

She attended Harvard, don't you know that makes her a scholar. Oh, wait, Mitt Romney has two degrees from Harvard so he is considered an preeminent scholar as well, don't you know.

Her articles are surveys of law, articulating no new principle or concepts, but rather just state the current status of the law. So that makes her a scholar, I suppose.

Again, Harvard status conveys an aura of scholarship.

Lesson learned. If you're a liberal who attended Harvard, you are a leading scholar.

If you are conservative who attended a non-Ivy league school, and have published widely a guiding interpretive concept, you are a wild-eyed lunatic.
