From Wikipedia:
In October 2003, Kagan transmitted an e-mail to students and faculty deploring that military recruiters had shown up on campus in violation of the schools anti-discrimination policy. It read, This action causes me deep distress. I abhor the militarys discriminatory recruitment policy. She also wrote that it was a profound wrong a moral injustice of the first order.

As an undergraduate at Princeton, Kagan wrote a senior thesis titled
"To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933."
In the "Acknowledgments" section of her work, she specifically thanked her brother Marc, whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas. In the body of the thesis, Kagan wrote:
"In our own times, a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States. Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalisms glories than of socialisms greatness. Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation. Why, in a society by no means perfect, has a radical party never attained the status of a major political force? Why, in particular, did the socialist movement never become an alternative to the nations established parties?...
"Through its own internal feuding, then, the SP [Socialist Party] exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. The story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialisms decline, still wish to change America. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight ones fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe. Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies. In unity lies their only hope."http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2398
she looks like Dick Morris
There have been several lesbians on the court, Stevens, Souter, Marshall, Ginsburg, to name a few.
The only saving grace is that she is Jewish.
Thanks for the info, ETL.
Oh she loves our military so much too
Yup, she ruled to not let the Military recruit on college campuses
Shameful, fit's Obama's MO perfectly
What’s with Obama and lesbians?..Napolitano, Sotomayor, now Kagan.. They remind me of “Pat” on the old Saturday Night Live.. We have to hang out near the restrooms and see which one they go to.. Does he have “mommy” issues? What the “F” is up with his radical left lesbians as first choice bit?
Oh don’t worry, it’ll be discussed plenty by the gay marriage crowd. They’ll be seeing the promise land in her. What a disastrous choice. Glenn Beck’s gonna have a field day over this one. Wonder if the GOP will have the guts to filibuster her until after November, when they could force him to back down.
At least she has more real-world experience than Obama had.
I bet they will, both being vagitarians.......
She looks like Dick Morris in drag. An unmarried 50 year old who rallied against the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy while teaching at Harvard. Hmm....
A big fat Bull Dyke. Hell she oughta be driving a truck. Perfect pick for our Communist In Chief. I do not think we can survive 3 more years of Obama.
I’m know I shouldn’t, but another ugly woman on the Supreme Court. Are all liberals ugly?
I don't think the poor folks in Waco or Ruby Ridge will be walking the earth again any time soon.
What? We are not talking about a job as a political hack. This is the Supreme Court. This point alone disqualifies her IMO and I wish the Republicans would filibuster her nomination (but they won't)
