Elena Kagan reminds me a lot of the Harriet Myers pick during the Bush years. Unqualified for the post and not real thought out. She’s a token and nothing else. A chance to put a woman on the court. I’m all for diversity but the Supreme Court isn’t the place to make the statement, it’s a place for only the most qualified jurists.

The media is trying to make this a shoo-in, and even some conservatives have called her confirmation a done deal. But is it?

Newt Gingrich has called for Obama to pull the nomination.

“Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called on President Obama to withdraw the nomination of Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court, calling her views anti-military and airing, for one of the first times, concerns that during her time as Dean, Harvard Law accepted money from Saudi Arabia.

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Gingrich even dismissed the notion that a Senate confirmation process was needed to properly judge or vet Kagan’s credentials for the Court.

“I think the president should withdraw it,” he said. “You don’t need a lot of hearings. The very fact that she led the effort which was repudiated unanimously by the Supreme Court to block the American military from Harvard Law school — we’re in two wars, and I see no reason why you would appoint an anti-military Supreme Court justice or why the Senate would confirm an anti-military Supreme Court justice.”
