Elena Kagan Confirmation Hearing Live Twitter Coverage

This is becoming more troubling, not because anything of vast signifigance has been revealed about Ms Kagan, but because of the SCOTUS decision handed down today that says the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right of every American has the right to own a firearm for their own protection (assuming they meant ADULTS). It was a 5/4 decision, which means Justice Sotomayor opposed upholding the 2nd, after telling Congress, during her hearings, that she agrees with the 2nd. What does this tell us about the hearings. What it tells me, is, we cannot believe what is being said today, all decisions must be based on what the nominee has embraced in the past. What his/her writings, decisions, comments, and HEROES, tell us is the true substance of the person. While I was not overly concerned with Ms Kagan gaining this lifelong seat on the Court, since the balance that now exists would not really change. What does bother me, a very great deal, is what could happen should one of our more moderate Justices should have to step down in the next 2 1/2 years. We would then be looking at a very Liberal/Progressive majority, and I do not believe the American people want that.
