Wrong fit for Supreme Court (Rep. Ted Poe)

by Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) - 06/22/10 9:00 PM ET

Why
should Elena Kagan be confirmed to a lifetime appointment to the most powerful
court in the world? She’d be judging trial lawyers and trial judges who’ve been
through the mud and the blood and the beer of courtroom trials. A trial — maybe
something she’s never even seen. She’s an academic elitist that’s never tried a
case. That’s like putting someone in charge of the brain surgery unit that’s
never done an operation.

And that’s just the way
it is.
