How dare Obama pick a fairly progressive SC justice...

[Drunken Irishman]

What right does he have? I'm so disappointed in his decision. Why didn't he listen to me? WHY? WHY? WHY?

:cry:

1. I trust the President's decision

over any of the hacks voicing concern..Obama has proven his good judgement.

5. Did pretty well with Sotomayor.

I remember her being roundly panned by the "experts" here too.

Besides, has he actually made a decision? Or are we basing this off the Politico thing?

2. she's bad!

No one knows exactly why, but she's bad.

4. She has a Goldman Sachs connection

Did $10,000 in work over the course of three years. Considered the asking price of an attorney of her caliber, this amounts to less than 10 hours of actual work spread across a thousand days.

This makes her a Goldman Sachs insider....

9. lol

Honestly, are some any better than Republicans when they try to smear her with some utter nonsense?

3. Exactly how outraged are the netroots supposed to get about this appointment?

BTW I have been scouring the netroots and cannot find a single thread expressing outrage that Obama met with Orin Hatch to discuss nominees.

We are definitely following behind in outrage generation at the netroot level.

8. LOL!

6. Keywords

Fairly progressive.

Not an outright progressive.

7. Some people thought they were electing a mindless puppet that they could pull the strings on

instead a brilliant man who would act as a leader

10. I keep reading that Salon piece over and over looking for the

arguments against Kagan. Most of it seems to be about what she hasn't said.
