Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan brushed off accusations that her participation in the Court’s hearing on Obamacare violates the law. Section 455(b)(3) of Title 28 of the U.S. Code requires judges to disqualify themselves from hearing cases when they have “served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser, or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case or controversy.” As Solicitor General, Kagan served in such a role.
“The most important job for a judge is to mete out justice,” Kagan asserted. “Mere parchment—whether it be a Constitution or a statute—cannot be allowed to infringe upon this solemn duty. Ensuring that everyone has health care epitomizes the President’s quest for justice. I will do everything I can to aid this quest.”
“Besides, whether a person is brought up on charges for an alleged violation of the law is at the prosecutor’s discretion,” Kagan added. “Does anyone seriously believe that Attorney General Holder would press charges against me for seeking to defend the health care law from its right-wing assailants? The two of us worked long and hard to craft the Administration’s legal defense of the law. We’re on the same team.”
Kagan rounded out her case for self-confidence saying “if by some freak occurrence I were to be impeached and convicted, is there any doubt that I would be pardoned by President Obama? I assure you, I’m not worried.”
In related news, Kagan dismissed Obamacare opponents’ argument that the law is coercive. “Since when is forcing people to buy something that’s good for them ‘coercive?’” she asked Plaintiff attorney Paul Clement. “Didn’t your mother ever force you to eat your vegetables? Would you call that coercive? Or was she just looking out for your well-being? Isn’t that what the government is doing here?”

How can you be an activist Supreme Court Judge if you recuse yourself ??? There are three other judges just as corrupt as Kagan . When deciding a case rarely will Breyer , Sotomayor , Ginsberg or Kagan decide based on the merits of our constitution . They should all be impeached based on their reluctance to follow the Constitutions outline . Good luck with that . The Federal Govt. is every bit as corrupt as Chicago’s thugs and worse IMO .
...just when you think its safe to come out....
You got me again!
Until I got to the “pardon” part, I didn’t check for your tag....

John Semmens is a good guy....:o)
I have been caught at times looking at the RSS feeds and click on the thread to type a rant on the insanity and find it’s Johns very well written Satire......LOL !
With this socialist bunch of polidiots and presstitutes and their handlers in charge now it’s harder every day to determine satire from truth with the crap they promote.
Good job John !!
Stay safe Jeff & John !!
Outstand satire. I’m sure Kagan is saying such things in private.
I’ve had many a negative thought on those “schools” over the years, but completely missed that train of thought.
Agree with your assessment.
John replies by freepmail. I have a slew of them to prove it.
This witch needs to be tried for treason. She is pretty useless and should leave the court which she is not suited to.
Of course not — she’s a leftist. Laws don’t apply to tehm.
I almost didn’t realize this was satire, even after looking at the site first.
way closer to the truth, but still LOL
John, you’re a genius, especially the parchment remark. Captures the liberal arrogance perfectly.
Thank you for the ping.
There is now no real difference between reality and satire.
Bizarro Socialist World.
More fun here,,,,my attempt at humor for the day...

“Right you are! Let the IMPEACHMENT of Ruthie BG begin!”
Not a chance, unfortunately. The G in GOP does not stand for Gonads.
