Couple things:

First, John Yoo is a piece of shit. A lawyer who helped advance the worst of the Bush administrations assault on human rights (torture and indefinite detention) and citizen liberties (warrant less wiretapping anyone), I'm actually kinda shocked that the hyper-Liberal Times acknowledges his existence. I guess a Berkley pedigree opens certain doors - but I digress...

If Kagan actually does believe in limiting Presidential authority, then by all means, we need to get her seated on the court as quickly as possible. First Bush (moron) and now Obama (liar, spendthrift) embraced the theory of a unitary (omnipotent if you like) executive branch which resulted in the demolition of our rights (some of which are listed above). Anyone who seeks to rein these assholes in deserves some credit and leeway; I don't care how Liberal she is.
Even turning these types of decisions over to a feckless (and almost certainly gridlocked) Congress is trading up from Bush/Obama.
