re: #43 Obdicut

Miers was providing legal counsel to the President on a wide range of issues, including on Constitutional law. She was not a good choice by any stretch and had far less experience than Kagan. You stepped aside the real issue here - what exactly are Kagan’s positions on any of the issues I raised? We simply have no idea. I find it interesting that Obama chose Kagan given that he still retains a strong majority of Democrats in the Senate and could push through a justice with a record of achievement.

Also, Kagan may have appeared before the S.Ct. as Solicitor General, but then again any admitted lawyer in good standing in the US can apply to do so with two sponsors. And from what I’ve seen, one of her appearances didn’t exactly go all that well (re: Citizens United).
