Forbid a woman should not be a 'cookie cutter' model for the Republicans to confirm. Elen Kagan is brilliant and everyone knows it. Her service as Solicitor General has been impeccable and LOYAL to the USA Constitution, which Alito and Roberts cannot lay claim to. I look forward to her leadership, a woman's right too, as a Supreme Court Justice. The Court will have three woman and how wonderful it will be. Thank you for accepting the nomination, Ms. Kagan.
..."I tend to be a legal realist, and I don't think there is one right answer to every legal question, especially when you are talking about the big issues the Supreme Court has to address," Kinports explained. "I think one's vote in a lot of the cases the Supreme Court hears can't help but be influenced by politics in part, but also by one's personal experience, one's sense of how the world works. Deciding a legal case is not like solving a math equation. It may well be influenced by one's views and perspective."
Kinports clerked on the Supreme Court under Justice Harry Blackmun as well as for the same Washington, D.C., Circuit Court of Appeals judge as Kagan, Judge Abner Mivka. Though she does not know Kagan, Kinports said Kagan seems to be persuasive and already appears to have developed a good relationship with the current justices during her tenure as solicitor general since 2009....
