MSNBC reports that Obama will appoint Solicitor-General Kagan to the Supreme Court - what do the Americans here think of that?
- Kagan is the first Solicitor-General in 225 years to not wear morning dress when arguing in front of the Supreme Court (she was too fat to fit into it).
- Kagan famously argued that anyone involved in terrorism should be subject to indefinite detention without a trial.
- Kagan was formerly dean of the Harvard Law School.
If you were a Senator, would you vote to confirm this appointment?
I am not an American, but were I a Senator I would vote NO. Considering the endemic obesity problem in America, puisine justices should not be as grossly fat as Kagan. They're role models.

Excuse me, that was inappropriate. Ol' Saxi googled "Fat Democrat" and got the wrong image. This is really Kegan:
"I will eat tiny little David Souter for breakfast!"

As an American, let me say this.
Here in America we value intelligence and character over appearances. Please ignore everything that we put on Television.
However,
Doesn't she kinda remind you of Sam the Eagle?
*AHEM* I bet she's a beautiful person on the inside though. /me
vote YES

Saxi, you have a weird way of presenting the news. I would LOL so hard if someone grilled Kagan during the confirmation hearings and brought up her weight.

Excuse me, but it is a relevant issue. Ol' Mitch Obama is working her increasingly sagging hindquarters off trying to slim down America, meanwhile Barry is stocking the bench with taste testers from the Hostess Factory Outlet. Sounds like a classic case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing.
If I were an American citizen - and though I'm not, I am an American taxpayer so do believe I have some dog in this fight - I would demand accountability.

She looks like a cross between a really puffy-faced Jerry Seinfeld and Mark Corrigan from the Peep Show
Couldn't dig up much about her, except for some rumor that she's a lesbian. But as dean of that law school previously mentioned, she forbade military recruiters from opening shop there due to their discriminatory practice. Of course, the federal government told them "ok then no federal money," which quickly convinced them to concede.

Yet one of many reasons you would not be a Senator, even if you were American.

Yeah, think of how much better the USA would have been had Ben Franklin been kept out of government because of his weight. Or George Washington, for being too tall. Or John Addams for being short. Abe Lincoln for too much facial hair, or not enough. FDR for having Polio.
Yes, Saxi, your logic is sound. Use physical characteristics to define success potential in Government. Its clearly the most important part of a person....well, for those people who have nothing else to fall back on anyways.

She has little to no judicial experience. That IMO is the biggest reason she has not place in the SCOTUS.
Of course her being fat also IMO, but to a lesser degree, shows she [more than likely, allowing for the unlikely thyroid condition] doesn't put a high priority on her own health which is a bad thing for someone expected to hold a seat in the highest court in the country.

Yes, but Dr. Franklin was living at a time when weight may have been a sign of success.
These days weight just proves Kagan can scream out the window of her mini-van
"ONE BIG 'N TASTY, TWO LARGE ORDERS OF FRIES, ONE OREO MCFLURRY AND A DIET DR PEPPER! AND DON'T FORGET A SPOON FOR MY MCFLURRY - YOU FORGOT TO GIVE ME A SPOON LAST TIME! ... NO, THAT'S OKAY, I DON'T NEED NAPKINS - THANKS, HON! ... OH, WAIT, I HAVE A COUPON -"

Take off a bit of make up and she's one of those alien monsters who feeds on humans. The way her mouth is open to me makes it seem that way: "RAAAAWR I AM GOING TO EAT YOU"

Up until 2008 this is what Solicitors-General wore when appearing in front of the U.S. Supreme Court: 
When Krisko Kagan became Solicitor-General she opted, instead, for this Cylon-inspired muumuu:
This is great progress! Americans should be proud!

That does it. I’m going to have to pull out the big guns now. Good thing this is a text medium, otherwise you would have to suffer with my singing! I am reminded of a very old song; I don’t even know the name; I don’t even know the verse. I can’t even Google it. I only know the verse.
Sugar, my little sugar,
Every pound, that makes you round, I idolize.
Sugar, my little sugar,
Put that sugar and that love back in your eyes!

Obama did a smart thing by nominating someone who won't have previous court decisions that people can complain about. But the President usually gets his way anyhow when it comes to Supreme Court picks. If the first one gets defeated then that almost assures that whoever is 2nd in line will become a justice. Even the opposition party has people who go along on the vote when it comes time to confirm.

It's unfortunate that this is the only topic about the SCOTUS nomination.

That's actually a more recent phenomena for the Supreme Court, probably mostly to do with the shift from Constitutional Law to Case Law.
