At last, the wait is over: it’s time for the Senate Confirmation Hearings for Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan.

Here at People For the American Way Headquarters, we’re hoping for (and expecting to get) a conversation that addresses the clear pro-corporate tilt of the Roberts Court and its willingness to bend the law to favor powerful interests. We’re also hoping that we’ll hear some of our 20 Questions for Solicitor General Kagan asked and answered.

While we’d like to believe that the hearings will be all about the law and Solicitor General Kagan’s judicial philosophy, we also expect to see a fair amount of preening from conservative Senators trying to score points with their far-right base.

We’ll be blogging throughout the hearings, and we hope that you’ll stop by from time to time and have a read.  To help beef-up our commentary on the right-wing craziness that’s sure to go on around the hearings, Kyle from RightWingWatch.org will be cross posting relevant posts here on the People For Blog.

Opening statements start today at 12:30, so pull up a chair, turn on C-Span 3, and watch with us for a while.
