The Kagan moral train wreck (OneNewsNow.com): "As we watch in disbelief, the United States Senate is about to take the Fifth on a Supreme Court nominee who has no business being near a courtroom except as a defendant.
The word from Capitol Hill is that the GOP won't even bother with a filibuster despite evidence from Elena Kagan's Judiciary Committee hearing that she falsified evidence used in a Supreme Court case and committed what might be perjury before that committee. (Editor's note: Following publication of this article, Kagan was confirmed on a 63-37 vote.)
One wonders what it would take for the Senate to deny this nomination. A daytime bank robbery, guns drawn? No, that could be chalked up to youthful exuberance or perhaps research in pursuit of insight into the criminal mind.
When the Gang of 14 Democrats and Republicans agreed to clear the path for some Bush Administration nominees, that arrogant group's presumption was that a president is entitled to his pick unless there are 'exceptional circumstances.'
