A can of Kagan and the SCOTUS

                                                                                   
Justice Scalia scolds Obama solicitor general [AUDIO]




During her confirmation hearings, Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, asked Ms. Kagan whether Congress could require us to eat three vegetables and three fruits every day. That would make us healthier and also would affect commerce and medical costs, but it is not a commercial act. Ms. Kagan could have said that she would not respond to that question because it is the pivotal issue in Obamacare - the “individual mandate” that requires people to buy health insurance. Or she could have said that precedents say that Congress cannot regulate something that affects commerce unless it is a commercial act. Instead, she said, “I think it would be wrong to strike down” such laws. In effect, she decided the individual mandate issue. WTIMES


As Obama's former Solicitor General, Elena Kagan advanced this legislation with a series of bullshit opinions.  Isn't that enough reason to recuse? Last year she recused  herself from the challenge to Arizona's immigration law, presumably because she served as President Obama's solicitor general when the federal government filed the original lawsuit against the state. What's the difference?  But let's be real. 

What we have in this country today is best compared to the Panmunjom peace talks in Korea, now 60 years in the running. Obama Democrats may be  favorably (or unfavorably, depending on your view) compared to The NorK communist government with whom the West has been negotiating.  If the left get one more Kagan on the high court, all that will be left for us is guerrilla type resistance in the Appalachians.  You know I'm right.

I don't think the Supreme Court has any binding ethics rules. If they did, they'd ignore them. What could you do? Sue them? Lose and take it to the....where?

I guess Congress could remove funds, but the President could siphon funds from other sources.

This is one of those things where the final result will be the court being accountable, or risk tearing the fabric of civil discourse.

The gulf between left and right in this country is now so wide as to be uncrossable. When the left have power they ratchet left at will; when the GOP pussies prevail, they undo nothing- as we are about to again discover. When I come to power everything will be set right in one hour, and resistance eliminated in a few months.

I heard audio of the hearings, and Breyer and Kagan were actively leading Solicitor General Verillo when he stumbled trying to answer the questions of Kennedy, Scalia and Roberts. Verillo isn't stupid, but he was in the impossible position of defending something indefensible, trying to justify mutually exclusive positions. Kagan is a syphilitic policy whore who has become chancre on SCOTUS for not having the moral fortitude to recuse herself from this case. I hope a Republican controlled House and Senate impeach her for judicial malfeasance and lying to Congress during her nomination hearings.
