Kagan exposed: a true Leftist Liberal



In the midst of oil spills in the Gulf, illegal immigrant problems in Arizona, and a Commander in Chief who knows nor cares anything about leadership, let us not for get Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.

Some worried she was perhaps too moderate to replace Justice Stephens, HAH!

Read it here:

In papers from the Marshall collection, whom Kagan worked for, are topics such as this spectrum of hot-button social issues: abortion, civil rights, gun rights, prisoners' rights and the constitutional underpinnings for recognizing gay marriage.

1. On abortion, Kagan wrote a memo in a case involving a prisoner who wanted the state to pay for her to have the procedure. Kagan expressed concern to Marshall that the conservative-leaning Court would use the case to rule against the woman--and possibly undo precedents protecting a woman's right to abortion.

2. She also expressed strong liberal views in a desegregation case. Summarizing a challenge to a voluntary school desegregation program, Kagan called the program "amazingly sensible." She told Marshall that state court decisions that upheld the plan recognized the "good sense and fair-mindedness" of local efforts.

3. Kagan also wrote a memo that senators could use to question whether she believes there is a constitutional right to gay marriage.

4. Then there was the recently disclosed memo on gun rights. In a case challenging the District of Columbia's handgun ban as unconstitutional, Kagan was blunt: "I am not sympathetic."

So, there you have it. That is Elena Kagan, who by extension is Obama.

Why the Kagan Confirmation Process is Important



See this outstanding analysis of the Kagan confirmation process over at National Review Online. Author Tony Blankley makes these key observations:

"Those [confirmation] rules might be summarized as follows: (1) The president is entitled to an appointee who generally shares his views (i.e., a liberal president is entitled to a liberal justice; a conservative president is entitled to a conservative justice). (2) A nominee should be confirmed if he or she is professionally qualified and of generally good character. (3) The only exception to Rule Two is if the nominee’s views are provably and dangerously outside the mainstream of respectable thought."

"The current rules are obsolete, having come into being at a time when the federal courts had not yet been consciously politicized. Today, liberal presidents attempt to use their appointments with the intent to systematically undermine — not uphold — the Constitution. And they do so because their vision of an ever more statist America is inconsistent with the Constitution’s fundamental purpose: to limit the size and scope of government."

Get that? Forget moral equivalency here: liberals appointing liberals and conservatives appointing conservatives is not a quid pro quo equivalent thing.

Because the liberals are advancing the cause of bigger government while the conservative appointments merely seek to maintain the Constitutional goal of limited government.

Kagan will be a huge boost to the liberal side: can we hold the line on this one and defeat her confirmation bid?

Kagan: Not "sympathetic" to 2nd Amendment Rights



While clerking for Marshall she suggested he not hear a 2nd Amendment case from the District of Columbia. See it all here.

This along with her beliefs that speech should be judged by its effect on Government is scary to say the least. Harken back to Obama's words how this candidate would be best at judging the impact of the law on Average Americans. Yep, I bet she would just like a good little Socialist should.

The Muslims like Kagan too!



Well, what do you know? Also included at the Obama announcement of Kagan's nomination to the Supremem Court was Haris Tarin of the Muslim Public Affairs Council who gushed over the new nominee and said "We call upon Ms. Kagan, if she is confirmed, to follow in the footsteps of Justice Stevens in his commitment to preserving individual freedoms, checking executive power, and upholding the rule of law which have made America a better place for over 35 years," Tarin said today.

What a relief to know the Muslims are on board with this! See here.

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan has never been a judge



In fact, she's never ruled on a case and she's never written an opinion! But hey, for the top court of the land, why should those be issues to worry about?

As reported here, "President Obama said he wanted someone on the high court who understood the impact of the law on average Americans, and I believe the depth and breadth of Ms. Kagan's experience will allow her that perspective," Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said.

Really??? And how would that be?

She has never been married and has no children. She attempted to keep military recruiters off Harvard's campus because of objections over the Pentagon's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy barring gays from serving openly in the military. Average Americans are pro-military and not pro-homosexual.

Her education pedigree is: Bachelor's Degree, Princeton (1981) Master's Degree, Oxford (1983) Law Degree, Harvard (1986)> That's a little off the charts for average Americans.

And then, Last month a minor media controversy blew up when CBS News posted a blog report saying Kagan, who is not married, would become the "first openly gay justice." The White House blew up over that and CBS retracted the story. It is doubtful that average Americans are clamoring for an openly gay Supreme Court justice.

So, Pres Obama, your SC nominee doesn't look like she is going to pass the "smell" test for understanding the impact of the law on average Americans since she so clearly has nothing in common with average Americans.

Supreme Court Battle



While Supreme Court Justice John Stevens' decision to retire this summer will give President Obama a second chance in as many years to shape the high court, the upcoming confirmation battle during an election year all but guarantees that his ambitious legislative agenda will grind to a halt, reports Fox.

You Bet!! Bring it on Mr. President! I hope you nominate the wackiest leftist loon in the whole stable! First that will really clog things up, it will really fire up the Conservative cause, and it will further point out what a leftist, socialist, radical you are! Wow, that's a trifecta! Don't get no better!

Come on Obama, bring it on!!!!!!

The Safe School......er....Gay School Czar

When you think of a Federal Government position like the Safe School Czar, what does that bring to mind? Initially, I thought of things like protecting school children for guns, knives, fights, drugs, or other harmful things that find their way into our schools.

Well nothing could be further from the truth: Because the real Safe School Czar is Kevin Jennings. And what is Kevin Jennings' agenda? Kevin Jennings agenda is the agenda of the Radical GLBT group GLSEN.

GLSEN pushes the GLBT agenda all the way down into Kindergardens and through High School. GLSEN terrorizes teachers, school administrators, and parents into not only accepting the LGBT agenda but also into not speaking out. You might ask, how can that happen in our schools? Easy.

For 70 years now, the Supreme Court has been removing prayer, Religion, and specifically Christianity from our schools. Nature abhors a vacuum, so Satan has walked in with all kinds of evil, particularly the radical GLBT agenda via GLSEN.

And who put Kevin Jennings in the post of Safe School Czar. None other than the President of the United States of America: Barack Obama
