Breaking: Male Prostitute who Introduced Kagan at hearings to now vote "no"
Edited on Thu Aug-05-10 01:10 PM by joeybee12
I wonder how he justifies that in his tiny little mind.

Edited to include his rationale. Did anyone ask him how he felt about Rehnquist? What a tool.

First, let me say that I have a great deal of respect for Elena Kagan. She has an impressive resume, and in my private meeting with her I found her to be brilliant, as you might expect from a former dean of Harvard Law School. However, I cannot vote to confirm Elena Kagan. The reason is simple. I believe nominees to the Supreme Court should have previously served on the bench. Lacking that, I look for many years of practical courtroom experience to compensate for the absence of prior judicial experience. In Elena Kagan's case, she is missing both. When it comes to the Supreme Court, experience matters. No classroom can substitute for the courtroom itself, where decisions are made that affect the day-to-day lives of American citizens, and where one's judicial character and temperament is shaped in favor of the fair and just application of the law. The best umpires, to use the popular analogy, must not only call balls and strikes, but also have spent enough time on the playing field to know the strike zone. Therefore, I cannot support Elena Kagan's nomination.

8. Sigh - Translation
Scott Brown (he once posed nude for Playgirl so that makes him a prostitute!) will vote "no" for Elena Kagan:
