She lies.
She lies just like Sodomayor!! The Constitution means NOTHING to them.
It is not the court's role to decide if a law, much less a constitutional provision, is unworkable. That is a political decision. A judge must restrict himself to asking what does the law actually say.
I have no doubt she would have sided with the minority on the recent gun decision. But it’s striking how little attention this ruling is getting from the the leftysphere. There’s even a loud left majority in favor of the 2nd amendment. Add to that the obvious political dynamite involved in opposing the 2A, I do think the left has given up restricting guns as a policy goal.
Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan says she considers recent high court decisions expanding gun rights to be “settled law.”
::::
If you are fool enough to believe this statement, you would believe Clinton and Gore. This fraud will say anything to get confirmed and become the liberal activist spoiler of our judicial system.
She’s a liar.
Firstly, the premise is bogus. The recent high court decisions did not expand any gun rights, they merely moved towards reinstating them from facist power grabs.
Secondly, Kagan's statement is so stupid on so many levels. Whether you agree or disagree with the recent rulings the ink is barely dry on the ruling yesterday so how is it actually "settled law", implying some sort of long standing ruling?
The woman needs to be hammered and hammered again to show how wrong she is for the appointment.
I think her nose grew a little
Liberals will ALWAYS say what they have to say in order to get the position. Once they are in, they will do whatever they damn well please.
I have contacted Sessions and Hatch as well as my two senators and voiced my concerns about this nominee. I have strongly encouraged them all to filibuster, which means they each will have to grow a backbone.
Sotomayor claimed at her confirmation hearings that she supported the 2nd Amendment.
This month she sided with the losers, supporting Chicago’s failed gun ban. That makes Justice Sotomayor a liar.
Well, don’t trust Kagan either; she’s a liar too.
During the Clinton Administration she was against the 2nd Amendment, advising for very tight gun control. Now she states it is “settled law”.
I say BS.
It is time Republicans look at what a SCOTUS candidate has done in the past - not what that person claims to believe.
Kagan is a liar.
Throwing Feinstein out of office would be a good start.
Settled law is settled law until it is changed for the better.
Quite profound. (extreme sarc)
Hell, given their most recent ruling, even four members of the court themselves don’t even look at court precedent as being “settled law”. Those four justices continued to act as if the 2nd didn’t apply to an individual in their decent against incorporation of the 2nd. They acted as if the Heller ruling never happened....
Kagan responded that "once a court decides a case as it did, it's binding precedent." And she said judges must respect a precedent unless it proves unworkable or new facts emerge that would change the circumstances of a case.Get off her back, it depends on what your definition of is is. ;') Thanks Clump
Liars lie.
NRA where are you?
Doesn’t mean diddly - Plessy v. Ferguson was “settled law” - right up until the point that Brown v. Board of Education was decided.
