I was watching the news last night when a blurb came on about the first day of hearings for Elena Kagan as she tries to become the next Supreme Court Justice. Now I'm not going to mention her manner of dress. Was it a dress? Nope, it was something that resembled a Navy P-coat with over sized buttons in a deep shade of blue. And who could miss the monsterous pearl necklace. It may have hidden one of her chins. But I digress, and I probably should apologize about that last remark. Maybe later.

What I am going to mention is her inability to read her own notes in a coherent manner. I-will-work-hard. I-will-listen-hard-to-my-colleagues. WTF! I thought she was reading a first grade book. Something along the lines of See Spot Run. I thought Ms. Kagan was supposed to be as smart as The One. At least Barry can read a tele-prompter. How is it that Ms. Kagan can't read from prepared notes? I'm sure that Ms. Kagan is a fairly smart person, after all she spent quite a bit of time as Dean of Harvard Law. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot, Harvard Law hasn't exactly produced a plethora of good lawyers lately. Alright, that's mean. She has spent most of her adult life at school so she has to have some smarts. She can read court decisions, she just hasn't made any having never been a judge. I would think that this would be a pre-requisite.

I'm sure that she will get confirmed and soon begin to interpret the Constitution in ways that I just can't imagine. Hopefully she takes a public speaking course first. That had to be the worst performance ever before Congress.

It's too bad that the position of Supreme Court Justice has become such a politically ideological one. I do believe that the court is there to make sure that new laws are constitutional and that the decisions made by lower courts are the correct ones. It's not supposed to be about doing what someone believes is right. Too many opinions for that to work. Many believe that Ms. Kagan is getting this spot to advance the Obama agenda. Are they correct? Only time will tell. I am putting my money on the fact that she is a far left gal and she will be right there with Justice Ginsburg. Ok, after grouping Ms. Kagan in with RBG I will take back the crack about her several chins.

This is just what we need, another bellicose Justice with a penchant for attempting to dismantle the document that separates us from the lower mammals.

Or in other words, liberals.
