Read SCOTUS Justice Kagan express opinion in emails on Obamacare
Read Judge Kagan E-mails on Obamacare passage Despite the efforts of partisans on both sides of health care reform, it appears that all nine members of the Supreme Court will rule on the cases testing the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. Dueling campaigns have been underway for months for justices Elena Kagan and Clarence Thomas to recuse because of perceived conflicts of interest: Kagan because of her role as solicitor general during and after passage of the law in 2010, and Thomas because of his wife Virginia's involvement with conservative groups opposing the law. Monday's orders granting review in the health care cases would have been the customary occasion for justices to signal their intentions to step aside by stating that they "took no part" in the decision. But [...]
SC Senator Graham will vote for Kagan
Elena Kagan now has at least one Republican vote for confirmation to the Supreme Court: that of Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who said Tuesday that she was not someone he would have chosen “but the person who did choose – President Obama – I think chose wisely.’’ Mr. Graham’s announcement came as the Senate Judiciary Committee took up the Kagan nomination; a vote is expected later in the day. His decision was not a surprise, given that he supported Justice Sonia Sotomayor last year. But his lengthy speech in support of her sparked debate over the Senate’s approach to judicial confirmations and helped reinforce his image as a maverick in the Senate, where he has been the rare Republican willing to reach across the aisle to forge consensus with the [...]
Kagan Contempt for the First Amendment?
O.K. up to now the argument has been academic and sparsely cited with quotes. But now, some documents are coming to light on Supreme Court nominees first Amendment beliefs. A belief that speech on racial or gender inequality should be quashed and how speech should be weighed against social costs sounds good for some.. but depending on who is in power, ones interpretation of that could be skewed politically. I am not sure someone should sit on the Supreme court who believes in limiting speech to this degree The duty of a Supreme Court Justice is to uphold our Constitutional liberties — unless that Justice is appointed by B. Hussein Obama, in which case her role is to destroy those liberties, starting with the most fundamental: President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, [...]
Kagan’s Stance: Gay or a Great softball player?
What the photo shows tells me is Kagan has a great open stance that shows she knows how to play Softball. I didn't know all female softball players were gay... heck did I waste my time gawking at the softball players during college? All this time I thought I wasn't appealing. I don't care if Kagan is Gay, straight, black, white, from new york, or a Jew.... What I do care about is how she would rule as a Judge. That information is what is lacking. One thing is for sure, she will be hoping for 'soft-ball' questions during her confirmation process. Greg Gutfelds Daily Gut had this to say: So some gay groups are upset over a photo the Wall Street Journal ran of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan: It was also a picture we ran on Monday. It’s of her playing softball. The beef? [...]
MSNBC uses Dem Talking Point That Kagan is not 'Liberal Enough'
What is liberal enough for the media anyway? Chairman Mao? This is a Left wing Political strategist tactic that is so old. Introduce in the media that the nominee, "may not be liberal enough" so the right might give in on a fight for confirmation. Already we see she a few negatives out there. She was not a fan of don't ask, don't tell that was the law of the land under President Clinton. How did she respond? She took it out on the Military by keeping recruiters off campus. She has almost no case law history. What we do have is a few writings were she said that socialism's failure was "sad". Right leaning folks shouldn't buy this elementary attempt to paint her as a Moderate. Watch out for the Senators, as with Sotomayor, to tout her personal story rather than here [...]
Kagan, "We Live in a Society Marred by Racial and Gender Inequality’ so why didn't you hire any?
My Favorite Elena Kagin quote, ‘We Live in a Society Marred by Racial and Gender Inequality’ so why didn't you hire any? If this where a GOP Nominee, Kagan would not fly, She has a dismal diversity hiring record. Never Hired an African-American Hired all whites one Asian-American, and only 5 Woman From Roland S. Martin, CNN Political Analyst If a white Republican president of the United States appointed a white male as his next Supreme Court justice, and upon the inspection of his record, it was discovered that of the 29 full-time tenured or tenured track faculty he hired as dean of Harvard Law, nearly all of them were white men, this would dominate the headlines. It would be reasonable to conclude that the special interest groups that vigorously fight for diversity -- [...]
