63-37, the Senate approved Elena Kagan, who is either a SECRET MARXIST LESBIAN or a PRO-CORPORATE IVY LEAGUE POLICY WONK TOADY, to the Supreme Court. Both sides, however, can agree that she is suspiciously childless, and overly devoted to her work. Her duties will include not having to hear the Prop 8 case when the Supreme Court denies cert.

Call the local council! There is a ghost feeling her up!
Oddly, I thought she was making shadow puppets of foxes.
and damn fine foxes at that. Always something to fall back on if the whole marxist revolution thing doesn't pan out.
Also I'm very happy about this news, and about the supergood birthday week our president is having.
Do you know? If it turns out that Kagan is really a SECRET MARXIST LESBIAN, that would probably be the best thing ever.
Partial to the SECRET KEYNESIAN LESBIANS, myself.

The genius of trying a gay marriage case in California is that the stoner hippie cow-porn lovers on the 9th Circuit will almost certainly uphold the lower court ruling, which means that the Supreme Court will _have_ to take the case - if they deny cert., then everyone on the West Coast will be forcibly gay married to illegal Mexican aliens.
She's not going to get the chance to issue a decision on this case?
I missed something. Are you saying the Supreme Court wouldn't hear the appeal after the 9th upholds the District Court to "keep it in California?" Are you saying that "the rule of four" --and there certainly are four-- would vote to hear the case without knowing there is a good chance Kennedy is on board? They ain't that dumb. So what are you saying?
She is about the best you could hope for if you're someone who doesn't hate the constitution. Obvs the obama admin is not going to nominate someone with any real fealty to the law but I doubt she will be as open and shameless in her contempt of it as a Ginsberg is.
Seriously, what is the story with this right-wing fetish about the constitution?
Actually, I think I know. It's a way of giving the impression that one cares about justice without ever having to strive for or even think about what is just.
@Jim Demintia:
I've always assumed the whole "original constitution/founding fathers" fetish has to do with an intense longing for the good old days...when slavery was legal, women were also pretty much property without basic civil rights, and being an old white dude with money meant that everyone else had to listen to you and do whatever you wanted no matter how annoying and wrong you were.
