We really do need more info. Obama’s apparent instinct for avoiding fights worries me. Kagan could be on the Supreme Court for decades — she and Sotomayor could be Obama’s most enduring legacy.<\/p>\n

The more I hear about her, the less I like her. That being said, I voted I need more info.<\/p>\n

Her stuttering performance before the Supremes didn’t do much for my confidence in her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Yes\u2019 and \u2018I need more info\u2019 finished in a dead heat.  I voted \u201cneed more info\u201d, because I feel we don\u2019t know enough about her.  However I lean toward \u2018Yes\u2019.  President Barack Obama is the most formidable Constitutional scholar to occupy the White House in the last century and beyond.  While we do not know enough about where Kagan stands on key areas of Constitutional interpretation, I am confident that Obama does.  He has earned the opportunity to redeem the court from GOP extremism.  Conversely, if Kagan joins the corporatist SCOTUS majority, which I doubt, I will feel betrayed by Obama, not Kagan.<\/font><\/p>\n

The current poll is on the GOP Gulf Gusher.<\/font><\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
