A vote by standing congressmen to "Cast Light on Election Spending", I think I just threw up a little in the mouth.
The Kagan vote is coming soon, time for the Republicans to show some unity that parallels the Democrats, vote NO just because she is an answer avoiding Harvard liberal. The whole world knows she's the second coming of Ginsburg. Let's be honest, conservatives don't want another liberal on the bench. It is not wrong to resist an appointee on the grounds that you disagree with her principles.
