DEAR EDITOR:

It is reassuring to read that U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) is taking a stand for the salvation of the Supreme Court. Thank goodness for the good sense to not back Elena Kagan's confirmation. Our country is already on the skids. Enough of the fundamental transformation of America already! We pray that Sen. Saxby Chambliss will join in the effort to block it as well! Stay tuned.

IJ: Name 3 things Kagan has vocalized as strong opinions which go against how "most Americans" feel.

Are you suddenly the judge of how most Americans think and feel?, or just the shoes on the other foot Republican ( party of NO ) feels?.

Even the stalwart of the intelligent Republican southerners, Lindsey Graham is voting for her nomination.

No, Kim, it is not her lack of experience, it is her very vocal opinion on many important subjects which goes against how most Americans feel. But it looks as though her nomination will be confirmed since the committee voted on a straight party line - if this was a repoublican dominated committee, you would never hear the end of it. Seems I remember the contention over Bork and Thomas - republican nominees - but they were absolutely the spawn of Satan. But then, of course, they were conservatives, so that was OK

So, Rehnquist, Earl Warren and at least 30 other former Supreme Court justices had no prior experience as judges at all, and you think Kagan's lack of appellate experience is a problem?

Maybe it the homophobic bent you and Isakson share, in that her stand against recruiter's on campus was tied to the "Don't ask, Don't tell" controversy, and her endorsement by the lesbian and gay community for this stand. Basically, she was enforcing the practice of not allowing employers who discriminate on the basis of sexual preference, which is the law.

GOP = Party of NO

No reasons.

No real plans

No answers themselves.

Just No to anything.

No.
