How could you have listened to a ten minute video in three minutes. You really need to listen and then decide if she will be impartial or an activist. We do not need activist SCJ's.

How can YOU decide if she will be impartial or an activist based on Mr Sessions partisan opening remarks?

It seems to me that until you've listened to her, you should withhold judgment as well.

Mr Sessions may be passionate in his condemnation, but that doesn't mean he will be persuasive.

True about activists......... we have enough right wing activists on the Court already. Whether she might be an activist of any stripe remains to be seen as the hearings progress.

Why would I waste my time with a political polemic? She is a lock for confirmation. Sessions is just engaged in political posturing.

How can you call reading a list of Kagan's actions and activities Partisan. If Obama had read the list it would still be the truth.

Jeff Sessions labeling her an activist does not = activist. Tying to slam Thurgood Marshall is not going to get Sessions anywhere.


She will get somewhere in the range of mid 60's in voted (all Democrats + Brown, Collins, Snowe, Voinovich and likely a few others.
