As far as Juanita is concerned, the nomination of Elena Kagan is horse-high, bull-strong, pig-tight, and goose-proof.  That means there ain’t no way around it.

But the Republicans are still gonna try.

According to a leaked audio, they are willing to put up a losing fight just so they can fight.

“Even if it’s a nominee that we can’t seriously stop, we can accomplish several things, and so a hard fight is worthwhile,” Levey implored. “Certainly it can be to the political advantage of Republicans…. There’s everything to be gained from making the Supreme Court vacancy a campaign issue in 2010.”

“There’s broader goals such as just distracting Obama from other items on his agenda,” Levey added. “The tougher the fight the less capital and time and resources and floor time in the Senate there is to spend on immigration and climate change, etc.”

“How these Republicans can claim to love America is a mystery to me,” Juanita says, “because it’s perfectly clear that they don’t love Americans.”

“They are living proof that not everything that moves around in the dark is Santa Claus,” she shakes her head.  “These boys hide in a closet and play their fiddles while things out here are on fire.”

“And if they get to pick on a woman, that’s even more exciting for them.”

I think she’s right.
