It is widely and wildly speculated that the choice of Kagan was motivated by, er, a certain kind of identity politics. I expect we'll hear more about that by the time confirmation hearings are underway. Prepare to be amused.

Despite all the hoopla--it appears that Kagan ISN'T a lesbian--so that Identity politics canard is just a bunch of gossip so far as it stands ( ... )

I know that we've had justices before who have not previously served as judges I just think it is easier to generate an informed opinion. I feel like this is a 'trust me I know what she's all about' moment...

As for the obama issues I just feel that his response to these issues that he campaigned on he sort of ignored. I do think he is making progress on DADT. He has not really put any pressure on Congress about GITMO however. As for DOMA I know he didnt run on that but I sure wish he had... ;>

As for Randi vs Bush/Cheney that was certainly an exaggeration on my part but I do think it is funny to hear the same style arguments.

This was definitely more of a rant on my part. I am just frustrated.

.. about the ranty part.. It is one of the reasons I do not actually listen to 92.1 that much anymore. I can stand stephanie Miller in the mornings, mainly because she is funny... but when it gets serious--it gets irritating really fast ( ... )
