As the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan get underway, the Edward M. Kennedy Institute is partnering with the PBS NewsHour to provide video highlights of the nine most recent Senate confirmation hearings.
Justice Kennedy won confirmation in 1988 by a 97-0 vote, still the last nominee to ascend to the Court without a single Senator in opposition.

If you look at other interviews with Kennedy he is really upbeat and interesting. Maybe he was thinking if I talk monotone and slow we'll be out of here by lunch !

Kennedy's voice reminds me of agent Smith from the Matrix movies

I have watched Bork nomination process, and now I am watching that of Kennedy. I wonder if I missed anything, but it is Bork who got himself failed, and no one including Kennedy tried to put traps to fail Bork. They have every right to ask difficult questions. Have I missed anything?

@blueknight07 Жыл бұрын

Nope. Reagan was not politically experienced and a bit of an idealist. Borks record and statements were very unpopular with moderates, Democrats didn't need to lay any traps, Bork was doomed the minute he was nominated.

Glad to apply Byrd's quote to himself.

Thanks for posting. Glad that Kennedy was chosen instead of Bork. On a side note, it's funny to see Justice Kennedy here because of how different he looks. I'm used to him looking as he does currently.

A Batey Bork belonged on that seat. Now instead, we have a pro-abortion, pro-perversion Justice that ignores the will of the people.

FamilyMSV The will of the people should be ignored in the Court. All that should matter to the judges is the law, and the Constituition.

Justice Anthony Kennedy is happily retired and doing well I pray. Reagan did well appointing him to the mahogany bench. ❤

Kennedy became gradually seduced by the praise of American legal academia for his increasingly liberal stances on gay rights. Approval of the academic legal community can be an extremely addictive drug when you're a federal judge

@unknownunknowns 13 жыл бұрын

I wonder what his 'zone' is on homosexuality. Since he gave the right of sodomy to gays, does that extend to the right of marriage which may have a HUGE impact to this nation?
