I don't know enough about Kagan to like her or not, but I DO KNOW

that if you want Obama to be more liberal, you have to *make* him be more liberal. It *IS* our job to hold his feet to the fire. He has made his nomination. The right signaled before that there would be little problem with her. The left said nothing. The time for anyone to hold his feet to the fire was BEFORE the nomination, not after it.

I am cautiously optimistic, but not overly so. I'm willing to wait and see, because right ow, that is our only option.

If we want a more progressive nominee, maybe we should start OUR OWN vetting process now, for next time.
