I am curious as to your extreme interest in American politics as opposed to Finnish ones?

The Main Finnish parties:
National Coalition party (center-right)
Center party of Finland (center-right)
Social democrat party (center)
Left Alliance (left)
The green league (center)
True Finns (right, extreme right)
Christian democrats (right)

Kagan is bad for justice. The Judicial branch is not allowed to play parties.

Finnish politics are like a soccer game, 90 minutes of people running around and at the end no one has scored.  American Politics are like game 7 of the NBA, Nothing But Action, and winners win big and losers lose huge.

And tell it to John Marshal Lisa.  Really, you're understanding of the American System is like the Platte River, a mile wide and an inch deep.

Dawn Johnsen would have been better.
