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

Obama’s new litmus test is hatred of Free Speech.

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.

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."

The 1st amendment has always been detested by Apparatchik elite-wannabes - Especially by Eunuchs who were inbred for service within Royal hierarchies.

Observe the sexually dysfunctional “Leaders” among the vestigial religious remains of the (un)Holy Roman Empire, for example...

“Nobody escapes the inquisition”

More than a "hatred" of free speech. It is a frightening willingness to quash it -- along with the Constitution.
