Supreme Court

Not that anyone cares... but I'm rooting for Kagan. She's a consensus builder who knows how to appease the right. In today's Supreme Court that has four certifiable right wingers with Kennedy as the right swing vote that's an important attribute.

Plus she's 49, younger than all the other candidates. I want someone who is going to be on the court long past the time I retire. George H.W. Bush was smart to put super conservative Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court at the age of 43. The guy came to the Supreme Court in 1991. If he serves until 83 (not unrealistic) he'll resign in 2031.

I believe the court would be better if they had 15 year terms. "Lifetime" had a whole different meaning when they wrote the constitution 220 years ago.
