That would be a nice picture if it didn’t have Janet and Kagan in it.

No surprise that a Harvard Law Liberal would despise the Constitution - it’s more surprising when there’s a Harvard (And Yale) Lefty like Sanford Levinson who recognizes what the Constitution is about.

Oh, you got me lauging.

The Supreme court is quickly becoming a mockery of justice.

The Wise Latina and now the Fat Dike.

Obama is doing his best to destroy any credibility in the institution.

She, ruth buzzie, and the wise latina will make quite the trio of old stooged maids. Our judicial system is one big joke.

'Ruth Buzzie!' That's a good one. I use Darth Bader myself.

Utterly unqualified Fat Pig Lesbian Kagan has major problems with that Bill of Rights thing, I see.

Wonder what she thinks of the Second Amendment, and its Original Intent?

Justice Story was appointed to the Supreme Court as an Associate Justice by James Madison in 1811. In 1833 he wrote, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States" His comments on the Second Amendment follow.

"The next amendment is: 'A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' "

"The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.(1) And yet, though this truth would seem so clear, and the importance of a well regulated militia would seem so undeniable, it cannot be disguised, that among the American people there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burdens, to be rid."

In her few academic papers, Kagan ....

From her senior thesis at Princeton:

A history major, Kagan had a strong interest in political history — especially labor movements and radical politics — and was passionately committed to her studies. ....... “Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness,” she wrote in her thesis. “Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation.” ...... She called the story of the socialist movement’s demise “a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America ... In unity lies their only hope.”

BORK HER

Those who attacked Bork had the media on their side. That will not be true with Ms. Kagan. Any who point out her lack of any experience to speak of, or her radical views, will be attacked. They will be labeled homophobic, anti-woman and whatever else they can think of.

"At one point during the oral arguments before the justices, Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart was asked by Justice Samuel Alito if the government could ban the materials presented in the Citizens United video if it were instead published in a book. Stewart said yes, thus endorsing government censorship of books. Kagan later told the court "the government's position has changed" on the issue. Still, it ought to be a major concern for senators that any of her lawyers would argue that the government can censor criticism of incumbent congressmen in books or any other media besides television." - washingtonexaminer.com

Hey, that’s a nice constitution ya got there...

I don’t find this surprising from someone who thinks the Constitution is QUOTE:

“A FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED AND DEFECTIVE DOCUMENT”

Do you like your Democrat Fascism served hot, or cold?

Kagan and Obama have contempt for the constitution and founders.

Their view of history is revisionist.

They present as Inner Party members, Stalin's New Soviet Man, Eric Hoffer's True Believer.

One thinks this pig would be at home on Animal Farm, being more equal than the other animals.

But of course there is nothing wrong with Obama saying “Teab***ers.” Some groups are more “equal” than others, to paraphrase Orwell.
