What we don’t know is much more extensive than what we know.

I’ve seen some of her dissertation and other policy decisions which are at least troubling.

The prevailing accusations throughout the conservative blogosphere are that she is a “communist lesbian.”

Is there a rock-solid source of information that confirms these accusations?

Reputable links without heresay, please...

argued for a constitutional doctrine

This, my friends, is the gaping wound, riddled with maggots, oozing with puss, cancerous and necrotic, that infects our system of government. It isn't Stevens. He's just a jobholder. It's the job that's flawed. It's a design flaw in the Constitution.

They [the courts] will give the sense of every article of the constitution, that may from time to time come before them. And in their decisions they will not confine themselves to any fixed or established rules, but will determine, according to what appears to them, the reason and spirit of the constitution. The opinions of the supreme court, whatever they may be, will have the force of law; because there is no power provided in the constitution that can correct their errors, or control their adjudications. From this court there is no appeal. And I conceive the legislature themselves, cannot set aside a judgment of this court, because they are authorised by the constitution to decide in the last resort. The legislature must be controlled by the constitution, and not the constitution by them. They have therefore no more right to set aside any judgment pronounced upon the construction of the constitution, than they have to take from the president, the chief command of the army and navy, and commit it to some other person. The reason is plain; the judicial and executive derive their authority from the same source, that the legislature do theirs; and therefore in all cases, where the constitution does not make the one responsible to, or controllable by the other, they are altogether independent of each other.

The judicial power will operate to effect, in the most certain, but yet silent and imperceptible manner, what is evidently the tendency of the constitution: I mean, an entire subversion of the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the individual states. Every adjudication of the supreme court, on any question that may arise upon the nature and extent of the general government, will affect the limits of the state jurisdiction. In proportion as the former enlarge the exercise of their powers, will that of the latter be restricted.

Antifederalist 80

Nothing gets rolled back, the national gubmint remains unlimited, unless and until something is done about the powers of the Federal (national) Judicial Branch. Article 3 belongs in the trash heap.

America is going to get sucker punched by Obama. Kagan is far too radical and has no experience as a judge. Obama will offer up a different LEFTIST non-Constitutionalist as "middle of the road" alternative.

Here's what Savage has to say about Kagan: radical communist professor with no judicial experience, kicked the military off Harvard campus and took money from Goodman Saks.
