The Gravel For 4/14/10: They Would Oppose A Clone Of Scalia Or Alito If They Had To

No matter how much she is liked by conservatives, Elena Kagan will still be painted by them as far to the left.

In the minds of conservatives, everyone is simply a far-leftist. Every.........ONE:

I hasten to repeat that no matter how sensible Kagan may be on the national-security and executive-power issues that aggravate the Left, it doesn’t follow that conservatives should welcome her nomination. For on a host of other issues—abortion, same-sex marriage, race and gender quotas, and an aggressively secularist reading of the Establishment Clause, to name just a few—there’s no reason to believe that Kagan would be anything other than a doctrinaire liberal judicial activist.

Even when they are a weak minority and their ideas are both irrelevant and disastrous, conservatives will always want everything THEY want at every single time.

It just only makes common simple sense that President Obama chooses someone who truly has a liberal background.

A true liberal background not located in Elena Kagan.
