Elena Kagan Takes Her Seat as 112th Supreme Court Justice

And now we see why she was installed, recusing herself on nearly half the cases coming before her already. So much for taking a stand, making a difference, being a judge standing up for true justice.

After reading some of the comments on here about how great Kagan is in their opinion. You are very naive, and need to read your history. She is a Progressive Liberal, just like the President, and the Progressive Democrats and Republicans that gave her a pass. Why do you think these people in Congress and Senate are being replaced by the normal American Majority that know right from wrong (leftist). They care about themselves and not the people, just like Kagan. After they are telling you what to eat, drink, drive, live, say, and do, and strip you of all your money in taxes. We will see what you will be saying then. If you can't see they are trying to kill off the middle class, you are blind. The Elite want the uber-rich and the poor, meaning the normal people like ourselves as the poor. You will end up a slave in your own country to the elite rich's dictates. Working for slave labor paychecks, and paying out most of it for taxes. So the rich can live like kings on your backs and labor. Wake the heck up and take off your blinders, research and read some history, it is repeating itself again. Progressive ideas has brought down many a mighty empire in the past, over and over again, and it is happening to America now. If you let it happen, you will have to explain your actions to your children, and grandchildren in the future, you will be at fault.

The president chose this woman for the high court. She was approved by the senate as is required by the constitution (ARTICLE II, Section 2), and now she is being sworn in. So what's the big deal? There are some people that couldn't be pleased with a free pass from St. Peter. They are perpetual complainers and you find them on both sides of the political spectrum. When they can't base these complaints on law or fact they they then resort to their emotions and feelings.The truth is the world at large doesn't give a damn about anyone's feelings theirs included. If it did there wouldn't be so much misery in it. This nation's greatness is to be found in and among its people and their willingness to follow the rule of law and not in the President or any elected or appointed official. The same people that do all of this whining will have a chance, because of the rule of law, to boot this president out of office come 2012 and they still bitch and whine. Solve that one.

Yuck! She'll do just as Obama tells her to.

And oh yes, incidently she's the judge that decided that obama's citizenship was a non issue.......... Play the game, get the reward.

It would be wonderful if she read the constitution and followed it like the law says. I am sick of judges making their own law by what they feel or think is best for themselves.

It's wonderful to have this brilliant woman on the bench! I can only hope she'll shake things up enough to make our country a better place! Like it used to be!

This is one of the worst days in history and a very sad day for American justice

Kagan on the Supreme court. If that doesn't give Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly and the rest of the Fixed News Crew coronaries, then Obama's re-election certainly will. Thank goodness for the Tea Bag Party! Their absurdities and off-the-wall candidates make Democratic success in 2010 and 2012 a guarantee as reliable as GOP pledges to the rich for their tax cuts while the American Middle Class is ignored and spurned, again!
