I wish that Stewart would have talked about what Kagan’s actual record is.
She is not a complete unknown who has no qualifications other than just being much smarter than Harriet Meyers. Meyers was a personal attorney for the president who was never involved with constitutional law, legal scholarship or public legal service on the national scale.

Kagan, is a very well respected legal scholar (surprisingly respected by both sides of the aisle), a law professor at both Harvard and Chicago, and has served two presidents in high ranking Justice Department positions.

Kagan is not a no-one. Meyers was quite seriously a no - one to the extent that even Bush’s most ardent supporters in the GOP laughed off the idea.

It would have been nice for Stewart to make that point. It would have been nice for CNN to make that point as well. It would have been really nice to not have to hope that Stewart would make that point, because there were actual reporting on this.

Who gives a damn if she is short! I really can’t believe that America has come to this.
