In a post below, my blogmate sagely anticipates a coming meme amongst those Republicans opposing the Kagan nomination. He's no doubt correct, as most Republicans are now hard-wired to combat President Obama at every turn. That being said, I'm not sure that I'm exactly thrilled about the President's choice.
It's not that she hasn't been a judge. Actually, I kind of like that about her. It's not that she's got some gossamer-thin connection to Goldman Sachs. I'm concerned about her deference to executive power, and what that may well portend for important issues of personal liberty and police power. I haven't found anything that speaks directly to her thoughts on Miranda, search and seizure, confrontation, etc. Anyone know anything regarding her stance on these issues concerning liberty?

You're not the only one with that concern. In fact, some think that was a selling point for Obama. Yes, the link is to FOXNews.com. Yes the author is pushing a book. Take it with a grain of salt, but I thought it was interesting that you seem to share at least that one observation.
