As expected, the Senate confirmed Elena Kagan as solicitor general Thursday. Kagan, the first woman to hold the post, was confirmed by a vote of 61-31.
As I reported earlier, she had some vehement Republican critics. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) made a point of noting, in announcing her confirmation, that every solicitor general who’s served since 1985 endorsed her nomination.
“The confirmation of Elena Kagan to be the nation’s advocate before the Supreme Court is an historic step for women,” said Kathryn Kolbert, president of People for the American Way, in a statement released this evening. “Just over a century ago, women weren’t allowed to practice law or vote—today’s vote is a sign of how far we’ve come. She will be a passionate and articulate advocate for our laws and Constitution.”

Of the three listed it started with Pres. Clinton, Pres. Bush did not seem to be able to contain it, and the Democrates did not help, then Pres. Obama decided America would be better off if we were governed by a Socialistic Government. And then Pres. Obama won't be able to blame anyone. Except maybe his mother.

Pres. Clinton is first to blame and then Pres. Bush didn't help. However at least the last two Presidents still tried Capitalism. Pres Obama is going full speed ahead with Socialism and now he will have no one to blame but himself, and well maybe his mother.
