Erick Erickson asked a question...

That I would like to answer. In his 5/11 RedState Briefing, he asked...

How Is Elena Kagan ‘More Representative’ of America?

Well, Erick, as the third SCOTUS member who is a woman, she brings us closer to the 50/50 demographic breakdown of men to women in this country. If she is homosexual then she would be more representative of the 2-3% of our population. There have been 111 SCOTUS justices, so her presence would still be less than 1% of the total number of justices.

Ericson also decried the alma mater of Kagan, ignoring the fact that George Bush's SCOTUS nominees were also from Harvard Law and Yale Law. In addition, he took issue with replacing "the last veteran" on the court with a non veteran "in a time of war," again ignoring the fact that if that criteria were applied to Roberts and Alito, they would have come up short in a time of war as well. Apparently, there are two different sets of standards for nominees in Erickson's mind, one for conservatives and another for liberals.

But who cares about hypocrisy anymore, it is just SOP.
