Or does anyone else think this Kagan person looks like the King of Queens in drag?

Well I think so.

I've been working and the television has been going on about her. I noticed they mentioned the 'Don't ask. Don't tell.' issue for some reason.

Is she openly gay? Not a joke. I haven't had time to learn anything about her and I was working / jumping this weekend.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

It is one of the few times she has given an opinion on a topic
I dont know if she is or is not gay
Does not really matter I guess unles she would push policy from the bench and as of yet there is no way to know

Not as much as Vegas showgirls do. Ever seen one of them up close? Yikes.

Here is another article from CNN about her.

One thing to note about the article that you posted: while 42% say that they want the court more conservative as opposed to 27% wanting it more liberal, you have to remember that Stephens is one of the most liberal, if not the most liberal, of the current justices. So the court is almost certain to be more conservative than it is right now.

Here's the full breakdown from the Gallup poll:

More conservative:  42%

More liberal:       27%

About the same:     24%

No opinion:          6%

If you add the more liberal to the "about the same" you get 51%, which is definitely more than 42%. And, again, that's reality when you're talking about replacing the most liberal member.

I'd prefer she have more judicial or practicing experience -- that was something I liked about Sotomayor. OTOH, at least the CNN article said that she looks for dissenting opinions when she's trying to formulate her own -- that's a good thing.

It's because so many news websites seem to have gone out of their way to use this photo, with a particularly un-flattering freeze-frame pose:

http://nimg.sulekha.com/others/original700/elena-kagan-2010-4-9-15-38-31.jpg

No, she's never going to grace the cover of Elle Magazine. But if you do a Google Image search of her, that's just about the most un-flattering photo of the many dozens that are in the public domain and easily available with a click of a mouse. Makes you wonder, or at least go " ".

Thanks for the link
It is just interesting finding out about her

As for the make up on the court. Me, personally would want judges that look at laws as they compare to the guides and limitation within the Constitution

Saddly, that has been gone for many decades

Thanks again Wendy

It's the best the right wing could do on short notice. Give Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck et al a few days. They'll dig up some dirt and be calling her Hitler in no time.

Your reading and comprehension are not quite what they should be.

Here's what it actually says;

Quote

Ben Domenech suggested a few weeks ago on a CBS blog that Kagan would be the first openly gay justice if confirmed, sparking backlash from liberals and a White House denial, its first public defense of a potential candidate during the current nomination process. CBS pulled the post and Domenech apologized, but he explained on his own website that he understood that Kagan was known to be gay in certain circles.

So, it's the "opinion" of Ben Domenech, the blogger who co-founded the RedState group blog.

I was not putting an opinion out of any kind
I was simple providing info
I dont watch or listen to CBS which is the biggest propoganda staition on the air


Other outlets are reporting the same. That she is openly gay

But you got your hit piece out and I guess that is all you care about

Right. You prefer Newsmax, which is unbiased.

I love it. CBS is a propaganda site (which of course uses AP as well) so you use Newsmax. It's like a guy who won't go to movies because he abhors all the gratuitous sex in modern media - so he goes to a porn shop instead.

>And the ONLY site you will tell us about that you get your opionions from is

Sorry, I get my opinions from me; I'm not one of those people who looks up Glen Beck to see what he thinks my opinion should be.

But for news sources? Any and all. The BBC is a good one. Google and Yahoo both have good news services. The WSJ and the Financial Times are both good. CNN/NBC/CBS/ABC are fine for current events (natural disasters and the like) but are pretty worthless for political stuff.

I use all those and more
MSNBC is ok too

CBS lost me years ago on the lie about nuclear power (done back in the 80's) a 60 piece of shit

But keep up your drive by posts
They are fun if nothing else

Oh and Glen Beck?

YOU would benifit from him I think

I dont listen to him

Oh! NOW I get it. Thanks for clearing it up. He was making a JOKE! Fuck me for not seeing that to begin with. I've never understood this whole humor thing.

Of course, ya know, some jokes can still be indicators of classlessness.
