(CNSNews.com) – Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan said the high court should be focused on ferreting out improper governmental motives when deciding First Amendment cases, arguing that the government’s reasons for restricting free speech were what mattered most and not necessarily the effect of those restrictions on speech.

Kagan, the solicitor general of the United States under President Obama, expressed that idea in her 1996 article in the University of Chicago Law Review entitled, “Private Speech, Public Purpose: The Role of Governmental Motive in First Amendment Doctrine.”

All exist to serve the state, eh?

Nihilism.

This is what you get from rejecting the Truth.
If the human is not an eternal being,
then the state “outlives” him, and is thus more important.

Can you imagine the uproar if GW Bush had held this belief? That speech “to incite” could be banned? Using this argument, with Republicans in charge MSNBC, Al Franken, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid could have their mouths duct-taped shut and their networks shut down.

I think the best argument to voice against this dangerous woman is “what if this actually became the interpretation and the Democrats lose big the next 2 or 3 elections?” Oh, yeah.... I forgot. Laws don’t apply to liberals.
