Kagan should have quick path to Supreme Court

[NJmaverick]

WASHINGTON – A key Senate Democrat predicted a vote by early August to confirm Solicitor General Elena Kagan as the next Supreme Court justice, even as skeptical Republicans warned against a rush to judgment.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont called Kagan, 50, a "superbly qualified candidate" who would "obviously" be confirmed this summer before the chamber leaves for a monthlong break. His panel will hold Kagan's confirmation hearings.
Republican leaders made it clear, however, that they're in no hurry to vote on Kagan, whom some of them criticized as insufficiently experienced to serve on the high court.
"Fulfilling our duty to advise and consent on a nomination to this office requires a thorough process, not a rush to judgment," Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said in a statement. He noted Kagan's "brief litigation experience," while promising that his party would treat her fairly.

1. Gawd I hate Mitch McConnell

he had no problems shoving Roberts or Alito through the process. Fuck him, I say push her through and watch McConnells four chins shake in righteous fury.

3. "in no hurry" More of the same

With every legislation, every vote

"Can we just start over"
"Why now"
"What is the rush"
"Take is slow"


They are not only obstructionist they are a bunch of do nothing idiots.
