Elena Kagan Confirmation Hearings: LIVE Streaming Updates (VIDEO)

First Posted: 06/28/10 02:09 PM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 05:55 PM ET

(AP/Huffington Post) The confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan continue on Wednesday as Kagan takes questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and you can follow all the latest updates LIVE below.

Already on Wednesday, Kagan declined an invitation to criticize the current Supreme Court, saying "I'm sure everyone up there is acting in good faith." Kagan appears well on her way toward confirmation, although it is unclear how many, if any, of the panel's seven Republicans will support her.

AP breaks down the senators who are judging the would-be Supreme Court justice.

No! We want a judge with an ultraliberal ax to grind and who will use the court as a bully pulpit to advance her extreme leftist agenda.

A person can be annoyed with someone's voice what ever political views one holds. Annoyance is just a feeling. Personally, like Luckincan, I'm annoyed beyond measure with the voice of Sarah Palin. I don't know how Todd sits in the same car with her; and surely can't imagine driving with her in the car, the way she screeches on, from Wasilla to Juneau. To me, Palin's voice is like fingernails on a blackboard. She just makes me shudder.

Arlen Spector was ridiculous. I'm not asking you to be specific but do these specific cases, in which you are currently involved with as Solicitor General, have merit? I don't know why you don't answer, you are not going to be solicitor general anymore.

Beautiful logic from the man who brought you the magic bullet theory.

Thanks for pointing that out, even though the magic bullet was not intended to be a rational conclusion derived from the manipulated evidence shuffled through the Warren Commission. It was a cover-up of the coup d-etat from the git-go. For his participation in that tree-son he should be tried and given a number.

Arlen Specter took off his fake Democratic coat and returned to his true Republican mouth. He certainly is not functioning as a Democrat on this committee. Either he is a true Republican, (and we were very wise to get rid of him) or he is chasing revenge. He went after her harder than the Republicans on the committee.

What really frightens the GOP lunatics is that they do not actually have any valid or rational reason to stand in opposition to her nomination. What really frightens ME is that the nominee happens to sadly be that far to the right politically that the GOP lunatics are in that position.

Kagan is a disaster. I think many of us of seen the link on Drudge where it appears that Congress has the right to tell us what to eat.

She should be denied SCOTUS.

This is true. Naive people believe what these corporate propaganda outlets tell them. They are misleading the American people so that corporations will have the freedom run roughshod over consumers, employees, tax policies, government contracts and the environment. As an example, Haliburton and other rely on wars for their very existence. They have a strong motivation to influence public opinion and government.

Hey ZERO. It is a Youtube link where Senator Coburn is asking her a question. Believing Drudge has nothing to do with. Watch with you own Lib eyes.

Despite all the hoopla, Kagan is showing us that she is just another republican stooge who will favor whatever Big Business decides she should say.

She's smart not to diss those she has to work with at this time. Once she's in there, things may change drastically. Thumbs up for this one.

Kagan's pathetic answer yesterday to Senator Tom Coburn's question regarding the abuse of the Commerce Claus was reason enough to disqualify her. She would not be a protector of our Constitution.

No to Kagan!
10:40 AM on 06/30/2010
Agree. This woman supports the radical left wing that Obama represents. Not only is she not qualified for SCOTUS, she is dangerous to freedom.

NO TO KAGAN.

Can you explain the tea party's fear regarding the loss of freedom and liberty? What liberties/freedoms have you lost?

Wow. One might almost imagine from your remarks that:

1) Kagan supports a radical left wing
2) Obama represents a radical left wing

That has to be one of the strangest depictions of right-wing neo-liberal I've ever seen

You people are really paranoid, aren't you? Coburn looked like a fool.
