The Play Continues On Script

Remember my call last week on how the Kagan nomination process would play out?  It's proceeding exactly according to my theory, and we've now officially reached step 5:

There will be no need for the Senate to waste their time interviewing President Barack Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court if Newt Gingrich has his way. Fox News' Chris Wallace asked Gingrich Sunday what he thought of the nomination of Elena Kagan.

"I think the president should withdraw it," said Gingrich. "You don't need a whole lot of hearings. The very fact that she led the effort -- which was repudiated unanimously by the Supreme Court -- to block the American military from Harvard Law School...."

Expect the next month or so to be filled with pointless speculation now over whether or not Obama will withdraw the nomination or Kagan will ask her name be withdrawn.   It will continue until it becomes clear that Kagan will not only get her hearings, but passes them easily.  We'll be in this phase of the mess unfortunately until July or August.

Keep in mind however I did call this a week ago.
