Dayton Daily News: Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, is being reasonable when he says that the U.S. Senate should do an “exhaustive review” of Elena Kagan’s record. Nothing wrong with exhaustive reviews of U.S. Supreme Court nominees.
The search for reasons to oppose her is the game now. Ideological opponents will be looking for “issues” that might undermine her with the political center: elite detachment, lack of judicial experience, an unusual lifestyle (which does not include being a lesbian, according to friends and the White House).
No matter that her opponents wouldn’t worry about this sort of thing if they liked her views.
