    If she is gay, why are people denying it? Why would this administration deny it?

    Because she says that she isn't? Seems pretty simple.

    Who cares; it is her perspective on the first amendment that should be rasing the alarms.

    Hell, even Megyn Kelly on Fox didn't have much fear about Kagan and free speach issues. She's pretty mainstream, and really no cause for concern.

    Just because you can't imagine who would be tappin' that doesn't mean someone is gay. I mean really, we probably all know a dude that would take her to bed...unfortunately lol.

    Is there an actual pending case that you're concerned with? Is there reason to believe that she would vote differently than the gentleman she would be replacing?

    The dude in that link was carrying an unlicensed pistol in DC. It isn't against the constitution if that dude was arrested.

    2nd Amendment doesn't mean you can carry a gun anywhere you damn well please.

    During her Solicitor General hearing, Kagan said that “There is no question, after Heller, that the Second Amendment guarantees Americans ‘the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.’”

    She has claimed that it provides "strong but not unlimited protection," which is pretty much the mainstream view on both the 1st and 2nd amendment.

    Not worried at all. The "not unlimted" part refers to things like the unlicensed pistol in D.C.

    Not really seeing why anyone should be worried...

    ".. a legal progressive..."

    And we all know that progressive is code for socialist ........... the beat goes on .........
    Quaker...

    Is that kinda like "community organizer" is code for something else?

    I see some remarkable similarities with Kagan and Sotomayor. I also see an easy confirmation, regardless of what her opposition may say or wish.
