Maddow emphasized Kagan's role as Solicitor General and Dean of Harvard Law School to counter Republican criticism. The hosts argue that Maddow is ignoring Kagan's lack of litigation experience to score political points against the Bush administration's legacy.

The hosts argue that the media focus on her sexuality serves as a "smokescreen" to hide her status as a corporate shill. They also criticize C-SPAN for editorializing during broadcasts of Senate hearings on the Gulf oil spill.

The White House stated that this affiliation would not disqualify her from the position. The hosts use this as evidence of the deep integration between the Obama administration and major Wall Street firms.
