Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings for President Obama’s nominee, Elena Kagan, begin today at the Capitol (video). Kagan has been working with White House lawyers for weeks to prepare for the hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Kagan’s refusal to allow military recruiters at the Harvard Law School when she was Dean there is likely to be a central flash point during the hearings.
Kagan has a radical ideology and would, no doubt, push a far-Left agenda from the bench. Let’s hope Republicans don’t make her confirmation easy, but rather use these hearings to show just how radical she has been, thereby showing how radical President Obama is to nominate her.

Republicans ? Bwahahahahahaha ...
On Kagan…
There is little left in our system that mirrors the United States Constitution, the founding charter wherein limits were placed on federal power. Using any manner of rationalization over the decades, we have watched the courts bastardize its original language and often put forward judgments more in favor of political thought at the time rather than what the document clearly includes (does not include).
Whether decisions like Dred Scott or Roe, clearly there have been people who sat on the Supreme Court who were not qualified and rendered bad decisions—decisions that have harmed the foundation idea and ideals of a free America. We now have an individual in the office of the Presidency who has proven he has virtually no regard for our history or Constitution. Obama sees the country as his next step to take specific communities “organized” in the vein of Alinsky toward Marxism, suffering the fixed idea—and consequent policies—liberals have about a large segment of our population in that they cannot compete and perform sufficiently in our economy and so must remain recipients of those who can.
The kind of education he and his fellow Socialists force on children in the public system assures many will remain in the underclass, unable to contribute because of a lack of skills. Affirmative action assures some will be put into positions where they will receive pay but remain very ineffective—in short, in every organization, particularly government offices, the incompetent rise to levels beyond them. Obama’s cabinet and inner circle is a good example—affirmative action for people who whose ideas, habits and hatred could not carry anywhere in a competitive marketplace—an honest marketplace. The chaos and poor performance is then blamed on some other factors—depending on what is happening at the time and what the politicians can sell to the masses. We can see it coming and could if tasked, write their scripts before an event—whether it is the spew from Reid, Boxer, Van Hollen, Frank, Pelosi, and many others or any one of the Kennedys that are left. Politicians specialize in misleading sales pitches. We know who fares best in a Socialist system—people such as the aforementioned do very well, not the underclass of the poorly educated.
Now we are subject to Elena Kagan being put forward to sit on our Supreme Court. As bad or worse as Ginsberg and Sotomayer, she is a guaranteed vote against the principles of the Constitution and we had better believe it. Being she has no experience on any bench at any level and given we know her from her memos and actions—from assisting the criminal Clintons to her disdain for the military she proudly displayed at Harvard—what else should we think? Should she even be considered for the court? No. But she has been put forward by a Socialist President whose desire to continue remaking our country into more than just a haven for the collectivists, perverse, murderous humanists, and unqualified. Instead of putting forward a jurist who knows and understands the Constitution—and knows it is a limit on federal power rather then an open invitation to mischief—he of course puts forward a baby darling of the depraved left.
Send her back to Cambridge.

When it comes to the vote you can bet Lindsey Graham will be a yes!
One question about these serious hearings:
Is Kagan the dog or the pony?
Government K-12 education was corrupt from the very first minute that the first school opened in the mid-1800s!
Government schools **are** socialism.
Simply by attending children learn to be comfortable with socialism. Children learn that the government has ENORMOUS power to take money from a neighbor to pay for a service their parents want for tuition-free!
Well! If government can take money from a neighbor for free school, why not a thousand other socialist wants and needs? We had the tremendous growth of socialist programs in the last century precisely because our great grandparents, grandparents, and parents were made to feel comfortable with socialism by attending government schools.
Also....Even by my grandmother's time ( born 1894) government schools were essentially godless with a sprinkle of prayer in the morning. ( There was a great difference between my grandmother and father's government education and the Catholic education of my mother and her parents). Is it any wonder that the generations of my great grandparents, grandparents, and parents mistook Franklin D. Roosevelt was Moses?
Speaking of Elena Kagan, why is it that the so-called ‘Pubbies in the senate all say she isn’t qualified for the SCOTUS, but won’t oppose her and will probably vote for her confirmation??
Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture? Why can’t we get some truly qualified Constitutional lawyers who have actually read and understood the Constitution instead of political theorists and tinkerers??
While the judicial abuse of our Constitution cannot be overstated, the problem runs deeper.
We elected the dirtbags who lie from the moment of their swearing in; those who nominate, defend, and vote to seat Leftist Radicals on the bench.
We elected the dirtbags who knowingly write unconstitutional laws. Our representatives enacted the plethora of unconstitutional laws these past 75 years. It was only a matter time before a leftist President [FDR] got the rubber stamp judges he wanted on the Supreme Court.
Political philosophers since Aristotle have warned that a republic is only suitable for a virtuous people.
We are so thoroughly decadent I doubt that this November will be little more than a pause in our slide to tyranny.
Yes—with few exceptions in some districts the standards are no where near where they should be—sorry for the duplicate post—but thank you for the response and accurate reflection!
I agree—I pray we’re not but fear we are.
