Day one of the questioning, that is. Just two quick notes for now... First of all, I try to keep up with all the wacky ideas out there, from all factions and fringes of the political culture. From the Tea Party crowd I know the arguments for why income taxes are theft, why the ACA individual mandate is unconstitutional, and why direct election of Senators ruined the republic...but I have to say that the flat-out attack on precedent was a new one for me. For those not watching carefully, and for those who were wondering what Tom Coburn was talking about in his questioning today, please see this op-ed by Senator Jim DeMint declaring that he opposes Elena Kagan's confirmation on the basis of her commitment to respecting precedent. It's true, of course, that liberals spent much of the last decade increasingly clinging to stare decisis, so I'm not exactly surprised. But as Coburn and DeMint tell it, it sounds less like a case of pragmatic adjustment on question...
