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.  ”

What's her face, Kagan

As Harvard Law Dean, Kagan Did Not Require Study of U.S. Constitutional Law But Did Require Study of International and Foreign Law

EPIC FAIL “ Kagan explained the move away from constitutional law was deliberate: “From the beginning of law school, students should learn to locate what they are learning about public and private law in the United States within the context of a larger universe -- global networks of economic regulation and private ordering, public systems created through multilateral relations among states, and different and widely varying legal cultures and systems. ” A third world menu selection, by a Third World President.

Kagan Hearing Hurry

Hurry

I see  Leaky Leahy has moved the Kagan confirmation hearings to begin  next month.  Hmmm.  Despite the cheerful tone of this article,  the hearings  could become very contentious.  Every day is bringing new, damaging information about this Noam Chomsky with a brassiere.  If she is forced to bow out, Obama needs time to get a stand-by in place before the Senate falls into the hands of Republicans, which new members will not be all Orrin-Hatchy.  Just my guess about why they're pushing so hard.  Or a hope?

Kagan and Socialists

Elena Kagan ’81 as an undergraduate

“ Kagan’s political beliefs emerged most clearly in an opinion piece she wrote for the ‘Prince’ a few weeks after that 1980 election night, in which she described her disappointment at Holtzman’s loss and her own liberal views. “I absorbed ... liberal principles early,” she said. “More to the point, I have retained them fairly intact to this day.” In the piece, Kagan also expressed her dissatisfaction with the state of the political left at the time, lamenting the demise of “real Democrats — not the closet Republicans that one sees so often these days” and the success of “anonymous but Moral Majority-backed ... avengers of ‘innocent life’ and the B-1 Bomber, these beneficiaries of a general turn to the right and a profound disorganization on the left.” She hoped that the future would “be marked by American disillusionment with conservative programs and solutions, and that a new, revitalized, perhaps more leftist left will once again come to the fore.” ” More
