Professor Scalia

"As solicitor general, Elena Kagan is referred to as Gen. Kagan in official settings. Republicans would prefer that you call her Professor Kagan. Soon after President Obama nominated her to replace Justice John Paul Stevens, Republicans were using her academic career to characterize her as an ivory tower elitist and insider. "Ms. Kagan has spent her entire professional career in Harvard Square, Hyde Park, and the D.C. Beltway," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who sits on the Judiciary committee and also runs the GOP's senatorial campaign committee. "These are not places were one learns 'how ordinary people live.' "

Ah! Professor Scalia! So we progressives finally have a punchy way to sum up the right’s habitual hypocrisy on the issue of elitism.

Thanks, Sen. Cornyn!
