Obama picks Kagan as next US Supreme Court justice

[dross]

....Which makes Kagan more pro-censorship than Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, or Thomas..

Just as an aside - Thomas has been one of the more absolutist justices in history concerning the free speech provisions of the First Amendment. Just sayin'.

Despite the fact that I am of the liberal persuasian and an Obama fan, I wish he would have appointed someone from the Federal bench with some judicial experience under his/her belt.

George H.W. Bush appointed Clarence Thomas after only one year on the Federal bench. Even that was too little judicial experience, in my opinion.

Having a lack of judicial experience doesn't bother me that much. It is more the reason for the lack that bothers me. Ever since Bork got smeared, they want to avoid people with a paper trail. I wouldn't mind having a true Constitutional expert from a law school, IF he/she loved it as written and believed the SCOTUS should adhere to the true meaning.

Also, I really don't like how she tried to keep military recruiters off campus. As a college graduate, and a member of a family where all, excluding myself, have served in the military, I think it is wrong to bar recruiters from college campuses. Military recruiters are trying to get some of the best educated individuals to serve their country and apply that education for the protection of the United States, and towards leading men and women in uniform. I really don't like her views on that.

Bravo!! As a college graduate, who enlisted after graduation, then went to Officer Candidate School, I could say from experience that everyone should be aware of the opporunities that the military has to offer (and the great service that they have to offer to the military) for college grads.

At least with her looks we know there will be no sex scandal amongst the court members

There already has been.

I heard she was into "gay rights." Well that makes sense, because her options with men would be very slim.
