Blind Justice

It’s Monday and we begin a fresh week of coverage and commentary.  Tonight we will spend some time discussing the Kagan confirmation hearings.  Comparatively few people are interested in the politics of her nomination, given the drama and desperation going on in the Gulf, and the fact that there is so little know about her it’s difficult to debate her merit as a Supreme Court Justice.

If you listen to the program tonight – and I hope you will – I’m sure you’ll hear Mike expound on the craziness that defined our day at Casa Malloy, so in place of my usual Monday blog, I suggest you check out the following fact sheets and articles about her so you can judge for yourself (so to speak) her worthiness and qualifications.

Sen. Patrick Leahy has this information about Elena Kagan’s alleged lack of documentation

An Independent Research Organization for journalists and educators assembled this database on Elena Kagan

Here is an overview of Kagan from the Washington Post

Tune in tonight and check this space later this week for a new blog.

    As long as she is approved by the corporations that’s all that matters. Oh, and as long as she keeps her lesbianism on the down low.. *ahem* she’ll be confirmed.

    The SCOTUS is nothing more than an additional rubber stamp for the corporations.
