Quote of the Day
"Since I speak and write about this a good deal, I am often asked at public meetings, in what sometimes seems to me a rather prurient way, whether I myself or my family have 'ever been threatened' by jihadists. My answer is that yes, I have, and so has everyone else in the audience, if they have paid enough attention to the relevant bin-Ladenist broadcasts to notice the fact."

US Senators Who Oppose Kagan as of 8/3/2010.
As of this evening 32 United States Senators have announced their definite opposition to the Supreme Court Nomination of US Solicitor General Elena Kagan (31 GOP, 1 DEM), along with 49 who have announced their support (42 DEM, 5 GOP, 2 IND), and 19 who remain undecided or are unwilling for some unknown reason to announce their decision at all (14 DEM, 5 GOP).
In the perfect world - all 100 Senator's would oppose the Nomination of Elena Kagan. Actually, in the perfect would she wouldn't have been nominated in the first place. However, the Senate lives in the real world and there are some who support Ms.Kagan, even on our side, for various reasons, dubious or not.
Here are the Senators who oppose Ms.Kagan's Nomination:
Senator Alexander - Tennessee.
Senator Barrasso - Wyoming.
Senator Bennett - Utah.
Senator Bunning - Kentucky.
Senator Burr - North Carolina.
Senator Chambliss - Georgia.
Senator Coburn - Oklahoma.
Senator Corker - Tennessee.
Senator Cornyn - Texas.
Senator Crapo - Idaho.
Senator DeMint - South Carolina.
Senator Ensign - Nevada.
Senator Grassley - Iowa.
Senator Hatch - Utah.
Senator Hutchison - Texas.
Senator Inhofe - Oklahoma.
Senator Isakson - Georgia.
Senator Johanns - Nebraska.
Senator Kyl - Arizona.
Senator LeMieux - Florida.
Senator McCain - Arizona.
Senator McConnell - Kentucky.
Senator Murkowski - Alaska.
Senator Nelson (D) - Nebraska.
Senator Risch - Idaho.
Senator Roberts - Kansas.
Senator Sessions - Alabama.
Senator Shelby - Alabama.
Senator Thune - South Dakota.
Senator Vitter - Louisiana.
Senator Voinovich - Ohio.
Senator Wicker - Mississippi.
And here are the Senator's who could oppose Ms.Kagan's Nomination:
Senator Begich (D) - Alaska.
Senator Bond (R) - Missouri.
Senator Brownback (R) - Kansas.
Senator Cochran (R) - Mississippi.
Senator Enzi (R) - Wyoming.
Senator Lincoln (D) - Arkansas.
Senator Webb (D) - Virginia.
As I predicted two weeks ago: we should be able to expect 35 or 36 Republican Senators to oppose Elena Kagan's nomination to the Bench. And I still stand by that prediction, however, with the dissent of Ben Nelson of Nebraska, we could also see a few Democrats willing to buck Reid and Obama.
Thoughts?
PS - I can almost guarantee the opposition of Senator's Brownback, Cochran, and Enzi, but I'm still unsure of Senator Bond and which way he'll vote. As for the before mentioned Democrats: Look for Senator's Begich and Webb to miss the vote or to oppose her nomination outright.

Obama Approval Scrapes 40%
Barack Obama's supporters are falling precipitously-- and that's not from a poll from Fox or Rasmussen. Instead, left-leaning USA Today partnered with Gallup to create a new job performance poll. And they must not have liked what they saw.
Approve: 41%
Disapprove: 53%
President Obama's job approval is sinking swiftly-- and even worse for him, his disapproval is now peaking over 50%. Looks like we'll need another $6 trillion in stimulus spending to counteract this, stat!
And conveniently, the article in USA Today has the poll snuck near the bottom so most casual readers would have missed it. It was stuck under other more bad news for Obama-- that people disapprove of his handling of the War in Afghanistan with just 36%.
