It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but it’s worth noting that Elena
Kagan openly acknowledged today that she holds liberal political
views.
“In terms of my political views, I’ve been a Democrat all my
life,” Kagan said in response to questioning from Sen. Lindsey
Graham. “I’ve worked for two Democratic presidents. And that’s
what my political views are.”
After further questioning, she added, “My political views are
generally progressive.”
Graham also got her to go on the record as saying that there are
consequences to elections and that she would expect a
conservative president to appoint conservative judges.
“It would be hard to disagree that elections have consequences,”
she said. “And should.”

I thought she didn't know what consitutes a progressive? Now she is one? Make up your mind.

I agree with her on this point [only]. The consequences of the 11/4/08 election is the possible appointment of radical liberal judges such as herself to lifetime [35 years plus] tenure on the SCOTUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
