And then Kagan has to dive in and say “hey, wait a minute, I’m stupid too!”

They just don’t write comedy like this anymore.

“young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because eventually, others will subsidize their health care in the future.”

This is where socialism completes its circle, to control.

Using the same logic, the government could ban cigars, high calorie drinks, high fat meals, you name it. Nothing is off limits.

I highly doubt Kagan even believes in the Constitution. She has an anthropologist’s view of it - she studies it as a window how a former society organized itself, but leftists like her feel they are well beyond it.

She is Obama’s land-mine to America which will keep spreading her error for decades to come.

[cuban leaf]

This one was juicy.

Why has Kagen not recused herself, btw?

... young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because eventually, others will subsidize their health care in the future.

There it is - the whole big pyramid scheme.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need ..." - Karl Marx.
And in the middle - Massive Government Control.
We will take from everyone according to his ability, by force if necessary, give to each according to his need, but we decide what the need is.
That is, if there is anything left to give after it's been squandered.

others will subsidize their health care in the future

ONLY if someone like the wise Latina FORCES them to.

Gee, ya reckon Lezzie Kagan telegraphed her vote on this?

LOL!

She should recuse herself. Another travesty if she doesn’t.

[liberalh8ter]

I wonder, does Kagan get out from behind the bench as she argues for Obamacare or does she do it from behind the bench. Inquiring minds want to know!

[ridesthemiles]

Why, Oh Why isn’t Kagan being forced to recuse herself?

She drafted much of the arguments that went before the lower courts!!!

[Tublecane]

“arguing that young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because eventually, others will subsidize their health care in the future.”

Is this an actual argument? I mean, at least with Social Security they pretend you’re getting back your own money. This sort of blatant tit for tat won’t be very popular.

And that is to say nothing of whether it’s true, or only true because other unconstitutional laws in the past made it true. Or whether it makes any sense, even if you accept all socialist preconditions.

[rlmorel]

The fact that Kagan is sitting in on this proves the process is a travesty.

I have zero confidence that the Supreme Court will rule appropriately, in spite of the good justices Scalia, Roberts and Thomas.

[longtermmemmory]

the obama administration as a whole has a problem with treating everyone as stupid.

They treated the Cardinals representatives as stupid by lecturing THEM as to what was or was not catholic.

[longtermmemmory]

Kagan comes across as a mega lightweight.

She was not asking questions, she was projecting agreement because the lawyer was make HER presentation to Obama.

young poor people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance contribute to entitlements because eventually, others will subsidize their health care entitlements in the future

[Mike Darancette]

Justice Elena Kagan, a former solicitor general appointed by President Obama to the high court, sided with Verilli in arguing that young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because eventually, others will subsidize their health care in the future.

Isn't this some type of weird age discrimination?
