No Big Surprise!
Five Republicans - Maine's Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Richard Lugar of Indiana, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina - voted for Kagan.

"I found her to be a good, decent person," Graham said, "well qualified in terms of her legal background to sit on the court."

Voters from Maine, New Hampshire, Indiana and South Carolina should be real proud of their Senators!

Gosh I'm shocked that a Socialist with no experience, put in another socialist with no experience to do a job neither had ever done before.

New Sanhedrin? I doubt Mr. Obama is on a plain with Christ, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, or the Sanhedrin, but I think I get your drift. Republicans voting for her? Why is anyone shocked? I'm certainly not. The Republicans after all are the "lessor of two evils", so all the "lessor of two evils voters" should be pleased. They elected these Republicans, and they got their voice heard in the vote for Supreme Court judge. What's the problem?

Looks like she got rewarded for covering barries butt. no different than the reward g. soros got for his contributions to barry the usurper.

American gov't, as corrupt as any 3rd world nation.

Yes it is, and the sooner Republican voters get that thru their heads the better, but there's some pretty thick heads out there.

Dee, if you noticed ALL the other Republicans voted against her. I like my two Republican Senators and my Republican Rep. They vote 90% conservative all the time. Can't get much better.

My senators and rep voted against all the bailouts. They did the right thing. I can't argue with that. They also voted against the health care bill. Can't argue with that. Just because a handful of Rino's like the one's mentioned vote for something socialist, doesn't mean all do. I've noticed most conservative Republicans aren't given time to speak or respond on the national news media. Only the liberals are allowed to speak. We have a twisted news media. We have elitist socialist liberals running the education system(s) in this country. We have socialist media. They praise the handful of Rino's but won't give lip service to any conservative. They did up any kind of dirt they can on conservatives, they call them names like stupid, ignorant, etc. They smeared Sarah Palin, they smear any conservative and praise any liberal. Liberals can cheat on their wives, take bribes, vote in bad legislation, and get away with it, maybe a slap on the wrist. Conservatives are run out of office. I will continue to vote for conservative republicans, independents still can't make it in a national election and very few Libertarians or Constitution party members even get elected to local offices.

As I recall your right, HOWEVER! My TEXAS REPUBLICAN SENATORS voted for it, and so did Arizona's McCain, UNTIL the Democrats took over and he saddled a new horse.

I was writing my Senators (AK) a few times this summer trying to convince them to oppose Kagan. Our R Senator opposed her but the demo supported. I had been trying to see some good in him and he even helped some close friends of mine in May. But I just sent him a note that I'm totally disgusted and that he's done our state and the whole US an terrible disservice. I'll be actively opposing his re-election.

More and more I'm seeing things Dee's way.

I still say America is like a big ship. It doesn't turn on a dime. We should try to get independents elected to local and state offices first. Nation wide I still think first we get Republicans in. Then we badger them to be more conservative. Then work to replace them with more conservative people. If you get Republicans elected nationaly, then the big ship turns right a little from the hard left it is taking. Then getting more conservatives to pull it even further right.

We are now at the point where we HAVE to "turn on a dime" or we lose it all. I agree with what you're saying, but there is only this one last election to make a difference,IMO.

Again Kagan is part of what this country voted for. Who did people think Obama was going to appoint to the Court, constrict Constitutionalists? Now we have three radical leftist women on the Supreme Court. Kagan was unqualified, but yet 68 senators voted to place her.
The supreme Court now has much more power than ever given by our Constitution. They have lifetime appointments, which also was never granted. If our Founders could see what powers the Judiciary now has they would be floored. They would say "wait a minute we wrote all this down so it wouldn't get to this". The Judiciary has the least power of the the three branches, and was only meant to give opinions. It has no authority to enforce their opinions. Congress does not have to follow what the court says.
Of course now when the court speaks, its the law of the land. This is why when we vote for a Prez. or Senator we should vote against any that think Judges are legislators. We should only vote for those that will appoint constrict Constitutionalists.

Eddie, the Republicans never had power, they just appeared to. With the two broads from Maine and the guy from South Carolina voting with the democrats, the Republicans could not get anything done.
I think the majority of the American people have what they think they want, right now! By the time they realize the mistake, I am afraid it will be to late. Hell it may be to late now.

I would agree with this statement of yours I have enhanced DDZ, but to accomplish this, you will have to ELECT CONSTRICT CONSTITUTIONALISTS to APPOINT CONSTRICT CONSTITUTIONALISTS. That means voting for the lessor of two evils won't work, and many here do that very type of voting and think it's ok.

The last time the Republicans had true power in congress and the senate, they balanced the budget under Clinton. Remember the showdowns between Newt Gingrich and Clinton. The president doesn't authorize money, congress does. The president suggests what he wants and must get congress to pass his bills. Right now the Dems have all the power. Yes some liberal Rinos went along with the Dems in the past, but not like now. Most true Republicans want to balance the budget, and have limited government. If the terroists had not bombed the World Trade Center, Bush and the Republican congress was on track, even with the Bush tax cuts, to completed pay off the National Debt, but 2012. The wars ran up the deficit, but nowhere near the level of Obama's mess. I know someone who was working at a bomb factory in Tennessee, 7 days a week. The wars did increase military production, in which all is produced here. Obama's stimulus is only to pay off Dems states in debt mostly, and produce a few highway jobs.

When was the last time you saw a true conservative Republican? We have only had one since Goldwater...He cannot buy the time of day from the other so called Conservatives in the Republican party.

We had eight years to turn your mythical ship to the right under King GW, and it just sailed in circles, and continues the same coarse under O!

Back in my young and naive day's I believed I saw a difference in the Elephant and the Donkey.

It was just an ILLUSION.

It looks like next time around it will be the Globalist Newt G's time to hoodwink the sheeple!!(CIRCLE THE SHIPS)

Keep voting for a 3rd party and split the conservative and moderate vote, and we end up with liberals and democrats every time. At least keep it moving to the right, or try, or try to stay middle until we can get it to the right. Reagan was a conservative, BUT his entire time in office he had Democratic house. Remember the fights between him and Tip O'neal, speaker of the house. He got his military spending to bankrupt the Soviet Union, but he had to compromise with Tip on domestic spending. He did get his tax cuts, which stimulated the economy for 20 years. He did start the 401(k) plan for workers to invest for their future. Remember Clinton pushed to deregulate the banks in 1998 so everyone could buy a home. It kept the stimulation going, but when gasoline doubled in price by 2008 people had to choose between buying gas to go to work and a house payment they didn't have a down payment on, and the ARMs came due, started in the early 2000's by the deregulated banks. So, they walked away from their mortgages and went back to renting somewhere cheaper or back home to their parents. Banks started failing because of the mortgage crisis. Well, you know the rest. Republicans warned that if something wasn't done about the unrestricted mortgage business, we would have bank failures. Even Bush warned about this. Nothing was done, people partied on. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are the one's since 2006 in charge of the banking and finance committees who were warned, and nothing done. Sorry, but at least Republicans tried to do something, but the liberal controled news media, wouldn't talk about it.
