You can't believe

how much this irritates me! Who cares what an 'immediate reaction' poll comes up with? We, or whomever is being polled, are not choosing the next Justice. Polls are a distraction. How did we, as a nation, get into this bad habit of relying on polls to make our day? Speaking of that, 72% of those polled expect the sun to rise tomorrow.


"JUST IN - FIRST KAGAN POLL: "A Gallup immediate-reaction poll to President Barack Obama's nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court finds 40% of Americans rating the choice as 'excellent' or 'good,' and 14% rating it as 'poor.' Overall, Kagan's ratings are similar to those for Samuel Alito and Harriet Miers, but not as positive as those for Sonia Sotomayor and John Roberts."

  1. How does anyone know? How can anyone possibly have an informed opinion? Sigh.
