Republicans can use Kagan'sSee through nomination to rally their base by portraying the former Harvard Law School dean as an Ivory Tower liberal elitist

who's out of touch with the DALIYUANmainstream and bent on helping President Barack Obama reshape America to fit his ideology, according to some

GOP operatives."I do think theChocolate Supreme Court is an issue that generally benefits Republicans - and we have to be prepared to use it," said Curt

Levey , director of the Committee for Justice, a conservative group. "I do think it's an issue because of the issues in the forefront in the battle

over the Supreme Court : nationalSMOOTHY WIND security and gay marriage."However, some in both parties doubt that Kagan's nomination will have staying

power to last through the primary season and November's midterm elections.Charlie Black , a veteran GOP strategistniwota and consultant, said the

economy, unemployment and the size of government are the top-tier issues for voters, who aren't overly concerned about a thus-far non-

controversial Supreme Court nominee."(Sen. Jon) Kyl , R- Ariz. , the Number Two Republican in the Senate , said if he had to guess, she would

be confirmed," Black said. "It all depends what's in the record and how she handles the hearings. Over the years, there have been nominees

who look good on paper who've talked themselves out of a job in hearings."Black said Republicans may be able to make an issue of Kagan's

limited courtroom experience or highlight GOP-Democratic differences on military issues through her effort to bar military recruiters from campus

when she was dean of the Harvard Law School ."But I'm guessing you won't hear a lot about her in the closing days of the campaign," Black

said.However, voters in some states are getting an earful about her now. Pakistan can't link N.Y. bombing suspect to extremist groups
Pakistani investigators have been unable to find evidence linking Faisal Shahzad , the Times Square bombing suspect, with the Pakistani Taliban or

other extremist groups, Pakistani security officials said Tuesday. Investigators also have been unable to substantiate Shahzad's reported

confession that he received bomb-making training in the country's wild Waziristan region, officials said.The lack of evidence found by investigators

stands in contrast to forceful statements by top Obama administration officials linking Shahzad to extremist Pakistani groups.The prime Pakistani

suspect, Muhammad Rehan , was detained early last week outside a radical mosque in Karachi after Shahzad was arrested in New York . A

member of the banned extremist group Jaish-e-Mohammad, Rehan was the only concrete link found so far between the 30-year-old Shahzad

and the militant underworld in Pakistan .However, the interrogation of Rehan didn't provide any link to the Pakistani Taliban or another militant

group, officials said."We have not found any involvement of Rehan (in the New York attempted bombing). He didn't introduce Faisal Shahzad to

the Pakistani Taliban," said a security official with knowledge of the investigation, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because he

wasn't authorized to discuss the issue with journalists. "No Taliban link has come to the fore."An FBI team that flew into Pakistan after Shahzad

was arrested also was allowed to question Rehan on Sunday. More than a dozen other suspects taken into custody in Karachi have been

released. The Pakistani investigation continues, and new leads yet could emerge.In Washington , a U.S. official told McClatchy there is

"information that links Shahzad to the TTP, and not all of it is coming from him." The official, who asked not to be identified because of the

sensitivity of the subject, cautioned that it still wasn't clear how close a relationship Shahzad had to the Pakistani Taliban, who go by the name

Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan.Another U.S. official said Tuesday that Shahzad had claimed in his debriefings to have met Qari Hussein , the Pakistani

Taliban's chief trainer of suicide bombers, but that claim is still being investigated and evaluated. This official also spoke only on the condition of

anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.http://forum.jerelo.info
