NEW YORK President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, argued certain forms of speech that promote "racial or gender inequality" could be "disappeared."
In her few academic papers, Kagan evidences strong beliefs for court intervention in speech, going so far as to posit First Amendment speech should be weighed against "societal costs.

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

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.
You did not have to conjure up an image like THAT! Have a heart.
Holy cow, she DOES look like Bob Costas!!
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?
They are going to have to kill me. I have seen enough of these Commies.
Welcome to the Socialist Paradise of OBAMASTAN...
George Orwell wrote books about Socialists like Kagan. I wionder if she or Obama have actually read any of them?
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.
Is anyone else sick and tired of these âHarvardâ elitists?

But of course there is nothing wrong with Obama saying “Teab***ers.” Some groups are more “equal” than others, to paraphrase Orwell.
Wow - you mean Obama elected a radical nutjob?
