Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings
Last week, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee began hearing Elena Kagan's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court bench. As expected, Kagan's views on life and other important issues have come out more, and they now cast her as extremely pro-abortion and pro-euthanasia, even to the point where she's being accused of attempting to persuade a medical body to falsify the truth about partial-birth abortion.
Additionally, both Republican and Democrat Senators now are concerned that Kagan isn't being forthcoming in answering the Committee's questions. Some of the issues that have gotten the most media attention from the confirmation hearings deal with Kagan's quick and witty responses (which range from remarks about getting her hair done to her Jewish ancestry), not the things that qualify her for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court bench.
Just more evidence that we can no longer rely on the dominate media for fair and balanced coverage of important news items.
