PROFILE: ELENA KAGAN

• Served as President Bill Clinton's Associate White House Counsel
• Former dean of Harvard Law School
• Sought to overturn the Solomon Amendment, a law that denies federal funding to any university that bars military recruiters from its campus
• Believes that the military should open its ranks and barracks to homosexuals, without restriction
• Was appointed U.S. Solicitor General by President Barack Obama in January 2009

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 capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s 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 nation’s 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 socialism’s decline, still wish to change America. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight one’s 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."

Jesus... she’s toeing the Obama line with every talking point he’s muttered. This woman(?) needs to be filibustered or denied. 25 - 30 years of this sort of liberalism would be devastating to our country and our Constitution.

Audio of her idiocy at the link.....

[Mr. K]

Just what we need- a dumbass butch on the supreme court

There can be no doubt Obambi is trying to ruin this country for good.

[sten]

just another example of social justice and the progressive parties drive to put their people in all places, irregardless of their qualifications.

like the current resident, this person is just not qualified.

Solicitor General Elena Kagan muffed her argument in front of the Supreme Court

Heh heh, they said "muffed".

[RC2]

Standing in front of the Bench is a hell of a lot different than sitting behind the Bench and attempting to enforce the Constitution.

[SnakeDoctor]

I formally request that we avoid using her name and “oral” in the same sentence. Thanks.

Political Hack!

[Mac from Cleveland]

I’ve never heard, until the past few days with this lame-o the term “General So and So” for the Soliciter General. Unreal.

And you think Kagan, of all people, would be skilled at “oral presentations”

Boy, her, Ginsberg and the “wide Latina” Call them the “Lee Sisters”

Home-Lee
Ug-Lee
and Ghast-Lee

Bring in Michelle as the fourth one “UnGod-Lee”

[Jewbacca]

“muffed her argument”

Ha ha.

[Jaxter]

She reminds me of Kathy Bates, only not as pretty.

[CPT Clay]

She is not qualified I tell you!!!

Oral Argument In Supreme Court Appearance At Citizens United Lawsuit

You mean she muffed it?

[ZULU]

Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican on the judiciary panel, said in a statement yesterday that Kagan has a “strong academic background” and that he has been “generally pleased with her job performance as solicitor general,” particularly on terrorism issues.

Is this payback for losing in the courts?

Mark Levin for Supreme Court Justice

[freekitty]

Obama so far is batting a thousand. Neither candidate is qualified to be near the Supreme Court; just as he isn’t.

This what you get when you elect bottom of the barrel scum buckets.
