I spent the past few weeks working at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree and BSA hundredth year celebration in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, about an hour and a half south of the Capitol. Despite my proximity to the political heart of our nation, I was largely cut off from news about the outside wold. I was deeply disappointed to learn that the Republicans bent to the will of disconnected Washington Liberals, and voted to confirm Elena Kagan.
