I recommend the GOP filibuster Elena Kagan’s Supreme Court nomination. Though elections have consequences, and presidents understandably nominate judges who share their ideology, Kagan went beyond the proper bounds of jurisprudence in her politically-motivated intervention with the partial-birth abortion report by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Senator Orrin Hatch is right to oppose her on these grounds, and others should follow his lead. [GOP leader Mitch McConnell is also a no vote.]
For background on this issue, see these two posts and this essay in Slate by William Saletan (who, though himself pro-choice, castigates Kagan).
Though a bit dated already, here’s a breakdown on some of the key deciders that could reject Kagan.
