Obama To Nominate Kagan For SCOTUS
By Wyatt Earp | May 10, 2010
President Obama nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court today. Kagan is the former Dean of Harvard Law School who made national news when she refused to let the military recruit at Harvard Law.
The GOP will pounce on her for that, and for her stunning lack of experience, but don’t expect them to try to block the nomination. Kagan’s as good as in.
Monday opens with a SCOTUS bang. NBC News reports tonight that Harvard Law School dean turned solicitor general Elena Kagan will be the White House SCOTUS nominee to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. It was widely rumored she would be the pick leading into the weekend.
[H]ere’s a reminder from my blog almost exactly a year ago when Kagan was on the short list for the SCOTUS slot that ultimately went to Sonia Sotomayor:
“Dean Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court would be concerning given her complete lack of judicial or appellate experience. She has never been a judge or even argued a case in a court of appeals. It is difficult to see how her experience fundraising for Harvard Law School qualifies her for a seat on the Nation’s high court.
Yes, she has no judicial experience, and of course that should be a big problem for anyone. However, I think Obama could have done much, much worse. Kagan is a Lefty, but she’s not a Kool-Aid drinking libtard.
It’s weird, but there is something familiar about Kagan. I’ve seen her before . . .
Yep, that’s it! I loved her on The King of Queens!

I swear her twin used to ride Septa’s trackless trolley Rt. 59 down Castor Avenue in 1970’s. Her hair was thinning and she had a huge head and four chins.

Why is it Obama only nominates short, fat, dumpy looking women to posts? Does he show pictures to Michelle and she goes “Okay, she would be perfect she’s Coyote Ugly and you would never think of hitting on her at the WH Christmas Party”.

Janet… sigh… and vehemently anti-military… Oh joy, oh joy

Her qualifications for SCOTUS are being tenured at 2 law schools, and publishing 3 (count them, 3) papers in her time as a law professor. As a dean she filled 29 positions at Harvard with 28 white males.
But hey, she wanted to kick recruiters off campus because of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. So she’s fine as far as the left is concerned.

I have to agree with BobG. When I saw the photo on Drudge, I immediately thought Mike Myers.
