No Pacific Nightmares Here

I'll disagree with Gail when she worries that "this country is going to lean so far to the left we're going to fall into the Pacific Ocean." There's no reason to believe that Elena Kagan is going to be more liberal than John Paul Stevens, and her appointment has disappointed liberals who wanted an anti-Scalia.

Give Obama credit. He's within his rights to pick an uber-leftist as long as he's president. I hope people will eventually crawl out from under their beds and breathe a sigh of relief that, come to think of it, he's just not an uber-leftist.
