Can Snowe And Collins Make Good Judgement Calls On Character?

What is one to think? Anyone who spends 5 minutes researching the background of Solicitor General, Elena Kagan, Barack Obama’s nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court, can discover that Elena Kagan is not a person of good character. Forget for the moment about political ideals and whether she does or does not emulate the ideals of Barack Obama or that she may not even be well qualified for the job.

Or do any of us care? One of the reasons people just don’t want to read their bile is because of the ignorant crap they publish.
