SCOTUS theater: Kagan kabuki
Places, places everyone.
Today, the curtain officially opens on the Senate “battle” over Obama Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. “Battle” gets ghost quotes because all the poohbahs on Capitol Hill are already treating her confirmation as a “foregone conclusion.”
Beltway Republicans will put up just enough of a fight to placate grass-roots conservative activists on Kagan’s radical social views, while the nutroots will pout (but not too loudly) that Kagan isn’t enough of a liberal activist for them. And GOP Sen. Lindsay Graham, after several minutes of obligatory grandstanding mixed with obsequious suck-uppage, will cast his vote with Kagan and Obama — as he did with Sonia Sotomayor (whom he praised as “bold” and edgy”).
Here’s one MSM list of the “5 things to watch out for” during Kagan Kabuki.
I would add:
–Will Kagan impersonate Goodwin Liu? Confronted with his radical writings and speeches, Obama’s far Left 9th Circuit Court of Appeals nominee cut and ran from his long-held political beliefs on everything from the welfare state to racial quotas to the role of the judiciary.
– Will Kagan impersonate Joe Biden? Kagan’s hostility to the 2nd amendment is certain to be raised by Republicans. When faced with criticism from gun-owners regarding his boss’s views, Biden turned into a gun-slinging cowboy — and attempted to assuage self-defense activists by bragging about his own shotguns and Berretta.
(Speaking of guns, the Supreme Court is expected to hand down a ruling today in the gun rights McDonald v. Chicago case.
–How many times will we hear the Kagan=”everyday people/compelling personal story” meme before the hearings are through? Hey, it worked for Sonia Sotomayor…
– How quickly will left-wing WaPo fashion writer Robin Givhan (who bashed Bush-nominated Supreme Court Justice John Roberts’ children’s clothes) crank out a piece praising Kagan’s sensible, down-to-earth, common people style?
– How many times will we hear Democrat Senators vouch for Kagan’s commitment to social-engineering “diversity” at Harvard?
– How many Senators have actually read through the 44,000-plus pages of Kagan-authored legal memos, analysis and other documents during the Clinton era just released less than two weeks ago. Answer: ZERO.
***
Americans United for Life has a Kagan backgrounder and questions for the nominee here.
Lee Ross at FoxNews.com has a rundown of today’s events:
Monday’s kickoff will be the most scripted day of the confirmation hearing that is expected to last all week. The day is dedicated to opening statements from the 19 Senate Judiciary Committee members (12 Democrats and seven Republicans) and the nominee. Kagan will be presented to the committee by Massachusetts Senators John Kerry (D) and Scott Brown (R). In between her work in the Clinton and Obama Administrations, Kagan was a professor at Harvard Law School outside Boston. It is customary for nominees to be presented to the committee by their home state senators, though Kagan was born and raised in New York City and once taught at the University of Chicago Law School.
Kagan’s statement to the committee will not come until late in the afternoon and will end the hearing’s first day. It will mark the first substantive remarks from her since the May 10 nomination announcement at the White House. In the weeks since, Kagan has met with 62 senators and more recently has spent several hours each day preparing her answers to questions she expects to hear.
Here’s a brief summation of conservative concerns about Kagan from Utah GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch. I know. I know. It’s Senator Open Borders Hatch. But at least he’s right about this:
“Judges who bend the Constitution to their own values and who use the Constitution to pursue their own vision for society take this right away from the people and undermine liberty itself.”

This woman, and every other nominee and piece of “legislation” should be filibustered until after January 21, 2011 (presuming we gain a majority, please G-d).
Our blessed Republic is in mortal danger and we must stop any further damage. We have been wounded badly enough.
Alas … yet another day we must endure full of pedantic self-serving puff pieces from the mouths of the ridiculous idiots inhabiting Washington, DC …
As for Hatch:
“
JudgesSenators and Congressmen who bend the Constitution to their own values and who use the Constitution to pursue their own vision for society take this right away from the people and undermine liberty itself.”Just had to fix that for you Orrin … maybe you should say that while looking in the mirror …
The “Firsts” just keep coming and coming. This will be the first Hobbit to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. Is this a great country or what?
Has any one asked the question why we want an anti-American radical on the SC? Someone who thinks the Constitution sucks?
Read her paper done for the Harvard Law Review “Presidential Administration” it tells how the President can be the dictator of the USA with the bureaucracy — doing things similar to the current financial bill, with is a tyrannical sham in it’s own right.
Maybe because we put one just like that in the White House?
Let’s pray for the health of the four Constitutionalists Justices on the Supreme Court while we are at it. With the Wise Latina Lady and Comrade Kagan we see the sorry replacement of a younger fascist replacing an old fascist thus extending their term on the court. But at the moment we retain a core of Constitutionalists for such a time as we can get a Constitutionalists President with a Republican Senate.
And while I am at it “Please help Justice Kennedy get his head clear of what ever from sticking it up where ever. There was a time he was a decent Judge-help him return to that“.
Republican Senators voting to confirm these fascist judges and other appointments for some “working together-building consensus” ideal is not working. They went along with Man/Boy Love advocate Justice Ginsberg and for what? Did that de-Bork the Left? It did not. Bork Kegan please.
===
Let your sidearm be like Master Card:
Don’t Leave home without it.
So if Scott Brown is presenting her, I guess that squish can be counted on as another liberal vote for Kagen.
Note to the Wimpy Repubs who have no guts: All this horrible legislation that we’d like to overturn if we ever get control….Obama is stacking the SC so that if any of this horrible legislation (i.e.–forcing people to buy health insurance) is ever brought to the SC…the horrible legislation will not be overturned by the court.
Karl: Well I like the way you talk.
well the same pukes that voted for gingsburg will do vote for this POS.
TERM LIMITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this the best America has to offer? 1st dodomayor, now kegan. I guess we’ve now come to putting SCOTUS members in because they hold to judging by feelings and international law and are beholden to the progressive/libtard agenda…Another empty suit in power…God help us all!
I say Bork her….if for no other reason than payback….stand up whimpie republicans….for ONCE don’t believe the democrats when they tell you that your only chance…(for people to “like” you…WHAT?)….. is to give them everything they want!!!!!!
kagan the ultra liberal United States hater will get nominated because the so called republican leadership, doesn’t have the cojones to stop it. frankly a lot of the garbage posing as republicans politicians are as pathetic and useless as zero the clown prince of idiocy. many republican senators and representatives, refuse to do battle with democrats, don’t know if it’s cowardice or complacency.
Of course he finds her both of those things. Don’t all the queens love Grace Jones too?
Yes indeed-learn a phrase a day-excellent.
The RINOs continue to aid the Dems at every turn. Graham, Alexander, Brown just to name a few that will disappoint and damage our citizens and country.
If they don’t filibuster this woman’s nomination, what nomination would they filibuster exactly? This is astonishing. A key area in the defense of our Constitution, and the RINOs cannot grasp it.
If this were Band of Brothers, the RINOs would be cast in the role of Lieut. Norman “Foxhole Norman” Dyke:
THIS IS OUR REPUBLICAN “LEADERSHIP”
By the way: Appropriately, Norman Dyke finished his life retired in Switzerland. This epitomizes the opulence and luxury most politicians seek for themselves while in “public service”, in my opinion.
I’ll tolerate poor performance in someone who tries their best, but not a collaborator or a coward.
Justices extend gun owner rights nationwide
Comrade Kegan missed out on this vote-limited victory that it is. The court does allow for “less severe restrictions”. Some how a gentler, less severe fascism never really appealed to me-being the Bitter Clinger I am.
The people of Chicago, Cook County and much of Illinois keep voting for these thugs so I guess they must enjoy it. Chicago and Cook County are the home of JerryBoy Wright, His Excellency the Most Exalted Minister of the Nation of Islam Calypso Louie and all kinds of Jacksons so it is to be expected.

The vote was 5 to 4. Another attempt at assassinating the constitution. No problemo, they’ll try again.
Absolutely NOT! But this is the best that Obama has to offer because she is exactly what HE wants. A radical Constitution-hating progressive. Would he nominate anyone else? This is all he knows. Obama is the one who is running this show and he is a marxist. He will NEVER appoint anyone…czars, SC nominees, even his personal secretary, unless they agree with his radical agenda. The entire WH is teeming with these revolutionary creeps and we must get rid of ALL of them. If Obama wants them there, it means they shouldn’t be there, in the position of making decisions for US!! This is tyranny, bordering on COUP. Can there now be any doubt?? When will the rest of the country wake up and see what is happening? Lambs being led to the slaughter and all they care about is whether or not the latest bachelor is gay!
I think this guy will make a great Supreme Court Justice. Give him a break.
T-bone; and who cares if he cross dresses a little bit?

On a recent interview that Medved had with Graham-amesty, Medved asked him about his support of amnesty. Graham said, in so many words, that he was sent to Washington to get along.
The R’s have pretty much have always turned the other cheek and mostly did the “get-along” thing.
The D’s pretty much only did the “get-along” thing when their cajones were being squeezed that their voices went up two octaves.
When will the R’s ever get a real set of cajones?
This thing of waiting for 2010 and 2012 is getting old.

Me neither.

Our liberties are still hanging on by a 5 to 4 Supreme Court makeup. May God help us if one of the 5 conservative Justices retires or dies while Comrade Obama (PBUH) and his socialist / marxist / RINO ilk are in control of Congress and our Country.
***
Our freedom is hanging by a thread–like the sword of Damocles in the old Greek legend.

Vote out any RINO who doesn’t fight this outrage and won’t give Kagan the Borking she so richly deserves. Send your money to good Conservative candidates like Sarah Palin. Tsunami coming on the second Tuesday of November 2010!

and again, and again, and again…until they get what they want.
During her confirmation, Sotomayor was asked if she thought the second amendment extended to all citizens. She answered “absolutely.” Recently, she voted with the minority (progressive socialists) on the bench, AGAINST the Second Amendment. The Weasel/worm has turned.
This is important, because we know, and have proof, that these monstrosities will do and say anything to get what they want….and Kagan is no different! Can we count on any member of Congress to stand up, and catch Kagen in a bold-faced lie? No…sadly. No juevos, cajones, o pelotas in our elected officials. They simply like to grandstand, and show everyone how smart they are. UP and OUT!
We must find a way to purge these living-breathing document judges off America’s benches…they are dismantling a nation of the free, and pushing us ever closer to all out civil war!
Sessions is taking care of some serious business in his opening remarks. The look on Kagan’s face is as though she smells something stinky. Yes, dear Elena: listening to your own record of anti-American policies summarized doe smell bad. May that stink stay off the SCOTUS.
(“does smell bad.”
)
Let’s not forget what happens in other socialist countries when “certain” judges don’t vote the “party” line. Accidents…coronaries…embolisms…muggings….you name it. Don’t be too quick to dismiss this possibility. (Remember all those Clinton “mysterious deaths?”)
Knowing who we have running this country into the ground, using thuggery to shape content…well, let’s just say I wouldn’t be surprised if something untoward happened to any of the Conservative justices while Obama is in office. God help us, is right!
I wasted my computer time by e-mailing our senior RINO senator (again) urging him to stand with Senator Sessions in preventing Kagan’s appointment to the Supreme Court. Unfortunatly we can’t remove Alexander for years. We have a shot at our junior RINO in 2012. They are as guilty of damaging this country as any Dem.
Dems: “She has a nice personality!”
Translation: You’ll be gnawing your arm off in the morning.
(raises glass) Here’s hoping all the invertebrate Rinos get a shot of V!agra in time for the filibuster! (clink)
Senator Kohl:
“…you have not been trapped in ‘judicial monastery’…”
Yeah, academia is a greater force for good, than, say, maintaining the tenets of our constiution? Fracking moron! Herb needs to go!
Bleach Kagan’s hair blonde, and she can star as the school dean of students in the next Ferris Bueller movie.
Yeah, that’s right. Look at the picture again.
Ugly Women Make Good Liberals was a country song I believe. If if wasn’t it should be. From the Roosevelt women-all of them-to Janet Reno, Jocelyn Elders, Miss Hillary, Helen Thomas and Supreme Court Justices the Ugly Women syndrome is a plague on humanity. Chelsea Clinton and Amy Carter are ugly too but I won’t make a point of it.
It it due to inbreeding, something in the water? Perhaps being ugly makes them bitter, thus Liberal?

Let your sidearm be like Master Card:

From Michelle’s link, elaborating:
There you have it, Repubs. You’ve just been handed the perfect excuse for a filibuster. No weaseling out now.
And 4 morons think the 2nd Amendment doesn’t apply to people outside of Federal jurisdictions…
Thank you Justice Alito – I need to get some of that Bold Justice coffee.
I think I much prefer the conservative interpretation of Constitutional scholars in “Judicial Monastery“, to the social engineering practiced in “Cloistered Academia!”
Have we not yet learned what happens when inexperienced people get thrust into positions that have to make critical decisions that will effect us for decades? Apparently, not.
Obeyme keeps nominating people not unlike himself…radical, socialist, inexperienced ideologues. NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA! But…good for marxism. The “anti-Christ” of freedom and liberty!.
Guess who said the following words:
Who said that?
Barack Hussein Obama.
Yes, really.
That’s a clownish and racist comment! Stymie was a great American, who added humor to everyday Americans with “The Little Rascals”…oh, yeah…did I have to mention his skin color?
It would be amusing if every Republican Senator ran that off every time they were in front of a microphone.
Typical hearing so far.
Republicans professional and congenial in manner, speaking the truth and laying out facts.
Democrats cranky in tone while making political statements aimed at making points against those terrible Republicans. Some outright lies and misrepresentations.
Chuckie Schumer is a such P*ICK !
*Although Kagan is thoroughly unqualified, she requires but two GOP votes, with Grahamnesty being a lock; Being an advocacy pimp for in-your-face homosexual behavior, as is Kagan, Lovely Lindsey won’t pass on this opportunity to put his kind of gal on the SC!
I have a few questions for our resident attorneys on this blog:
At these hearings, potential appointees swear, under oath, to tell the truth. They are asked a direct question regarding how they view a certain topic.
For example; “Do you believe that the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to all citizens, the right to keep and bear arms?” The nominee, answers, “Yes, absolutely!”
Then, after confirmation, a 2nd Amendment case comes before the court, and the recently confirmed Justice rules against the citizen’s right to bear arms.
Has the Justice just committed perjury? And, if so, do they get a pass? Is it an impeachable offense (for Justices?)
right_on #47
Great question, was just wondering what they would have to do to warrant removal from the bench?
Kagan is sitting there looking like a pouting child, looking for sympathy, after getting caught pinching another kid. No more candy for you…
As far as RINOs giving a pass on a multitude of issues – we get to impeach them in November.
Before Senators vote on this Supreme Court nominee,
I really wish they would finally put to rest the issue of Obama’s eligibility to even hold the office of President and make this SC nomination!
1) Demand the Long Form Birth Certificate be sent from the State of Hawaii, under seal, directly to Congress.
2) Ask the Supreme Court to clarify the definition of “natural born citizen”.
Many of us believe the Founders intended Vattel’s definition:
By that definition, Obama is ineligible, regardless of his birthplace, because his father was not a U.S. citizen (but rather a British subject who passed that British subjecthood on from father to son).
But even those who think that birth on U.S. soil is sufficient to be considered a “natural born citizen” admit that birth on U.S. soil is still necessary.
The Contrapositive is:
Members of Congress have a Constitutional Duty (clarified in Section 3 of the 20th Amendment) to qualify the President and Vice-President. So far, they have not performed that duty, choosing rather to “outsource” it to unelected, unaccountable, untrustworthy third parties.
It’s time for every member of Congress to uphold their sworn oath to support and defend the Constitution.
It’s time for every member of Congress to verify the long form birth certificate and ask the Supreme Court to clarify the definition of “natural born citizen”.
Redpill
Whether they do address the BC issue before Kagan is passed through the open waiting door to the SC – you can bet it will be hotly debated during the next prez campaign. That’s why I don’t think he’ll seriously run. I’m betting there is a BIG slot waiting for him at the UN, that he simply can’t refuse.
I was watching the G20 news conference, and I remember my speech teacher in high school – if I had said as many um’s and ah’s in a speech, I would have been resoundingly beaten. This guy is a top grad from Harvard Law? Nope, bottom maybe, but got a ‘F’ in Courtroom, a prosecuting or defense attorney would rip him a new one. He is scripted from top to bottom by his handlers – get him off script/off the teleprompter and he goes to pieces. Watch if the questioning gets too intense on Kagan – we will have another ‘crises’ to take our attention off, another move of the shell in the three card monte we are being presented.
It seems to me that the current GOP establishment, afraid to act independently, is willing to wait until the Progressive’s put into place, all the pieces necessary to change America’s path toward Total Socialism.
The long, and deliberate expulsion of all things socialist, will take decades to complete. Most of us won’t be around anymore when, and if that happens.
Forget pushing legislation to help the under-achieving poor who have been indentured by the Democrat Party through lies and deceit, in no small measure with the help of progressive Republicans. Legislation that carves out those in the establishment who have anti-American, anti-liberty views must be passed in order to save the republic. Otherwise, the Great Experiment fails, not because it’s concepts were flawed, but because the greed for power, by liberal intellectuals, dominated national leadership positions.
A nation divided cannot stand. I am not willing, however, to unite in the direction the left would lead us. That direction endorses tyranny, not liberty.
When the Supreme Court finally takes up the issue of the meaning of “natural born citizen”, any justice appointed by Obama will have to recuse themselves. They would have a clear conflict of interest if they did not… because they could not rule that “natural born citizen” means “those born in the country, of parents who are citizens” without losing their jobs.
A ruling in favor of Vattel’s definition would be a ruling declaring Obama is a usurper, someone who illegally usurped the office, and that would mean that everything Obama did in office is legally moot.
A ruling by an Obama-nominated justice in favor of Vattel’s definition would be a ruling declaring the justice themself as a usurper, since their nomination was moot.
So, an Obama-nominated justice is forced to rule against Vattel’s definition, just to keep their own job.
That conflict of interest is a big F’in deal. So I repeat… when the Supreme Court finally takes up the issue of the meaning of “natural born citizen”, any justice appointed by Obama will have to recuse themselves.
I am sure Kagan will be one more Obama judge who places the “rights” of Muslim militants over the right of the rest of us to peace and security in our streets. Every Obama judge views military tribunals as illegal and every Obama judge believes that Gitmo is illegal and that Khalid Sheikh Muhammad must have a civlian trial. Will anyone dare ask Kagan two simple questions:
1) Do you believe that Khalid Sheikh Muhammad should receive a civilian trial? 2)Do you believe that if the US captures Osama Ben Laden, he should be Mirandized and given a civilian trial? Holder floundered on these simple questions. Kagan will do no better but the liberal media will destroy any Senator who dares to ask.
We need G. Gorden Liddy to organize Joe the Plumber and some Cubans with great health care benefits to break into the hospital where Obama’s birth record is kept and deliver it to the American People.
Whos with me?
or maybe I’ll just have another beer.
Where in the world did Sen. Graham get the idea that any candidate is ok as long as the “balance” on the court doesn’t get upset?
T-Bone #57
I’m thinking the forces of evil in either China, Soros, or the ME has already done so. Funny what money can buy or sources are willing to sell for 30 pieces of silver. Everything changed when those documents disappeared themselves. Heck, a good hacker could have done more than any holder of those documents could have prevented. Save your money, they’re gone or in private hands.
There seems to be a consensus among thoughtful conservative court watchers that Miss Kagan is lying. She is representing her judicial philosophy as mainstream, uttering comforting assurances that, according to Paul Mirengoff, could have come out of the mouth of Chief Justice Roberts.
If Miss Kagan keeps up this charade throughout the hearing and later goes on the court and shows herself to be a very aggressive liberal judicial activist in blatant and indisputable contradiction to how she is representing herself, then she will have perpetrated a very grave fraud and will be a criminal enemy of the republic.
Since the judicial branch will not sanction her, it would, IMO, properly fall to patriotic citizens to respond to her high crimes and put the situation right.
These reflections are, of course, hypothetical at this point in time. We will have to watch her through the remainder of the hearing and after she goes onto the court. We will have to watch her and judge if she has blatantly lied to the Senate and to the people.
She promises to “uphold the law”. I can only shake my head. I’ve heard that before, from most politicians. The first thing they do, after they take the Oath, is hang a sign above their desk, “What’s in it for me?” I doubt she even knows (or cares) what the law is. The Constitution is what she thinks it is. It lives and breathes.
She is indeed lying-both by commission and omission as did her sister in lying The Wise Latina. They get the wink and the nod approval for their clever evasions and are called on it very little-infuriating to say the least.
Our Republican Senators take an oath to defend the Constitution but in deference to Political Correctness and Getting Along allow these lies to slide. Cowards serve no useful purpose. Call a damn liar a liar and be done with it. Yes it would be nice if all these hearings could be civil. Were they civil for Clarence Thomas? Samuel Alito? John Bolton? I think not. Our Republican Senators call the thugs who attacked these good people friend-pitiful.
When your enemy is coming at you tooth and nail it is pretty damn stupid to play nice. And the Left is indeed our enemy. Cowards serve no useful purpose

Let your sidearm be like Master Card:
Don’t Leave home without it.
And don’t forget, she was and still is being coached by the best marketing team in politics. And God only knows our GOP has constantly failed in marketing.
Ask her if she will renounce all of the teachings of Karl Marx.
If she takes the bench and then shows that she lied and deceived to get there, she will have proved herself a conspirator against the constitution and the people. She will have shown herself to be part of a soft coup d’état, attempting to seize control of a branch of the American government. She will be a high outlaw. The threat that she will have mounted will have to be neutralized.
Kagan outright lying to Sessions right now and not answering the question.
Big surprise! It’s like Obamao himself is answering…..or Clinton or Kerry or Edwards or _______ fill in the bland with most any Democrat politician.
Question: What part of “shall not be infringed” do you not understand?
Yet another dog and pony show. The dims probably have the votes…why bother…we know what she is and how she will act on the bench as an activist judge. How she keeps a straight face while lying is beyond me….
I cannot watch anymore of this sham. I have had quite enough of the Bald Faced Lies from every single stench ridden minion of the Sock Puppet regime.
I haven’t read all the comments yet…has anyone else mentioned this? Kagan’s Own Words: “It’s Fine If The Law Bans Books Because Government Won’t Really Enforce It.” Be afraid…be very afraid. She is a kook.
The battle to keep Kagan off of the SC has to be fought here and now. Once she’s on it, nothing she ever does will take her off of the court, all of the railing and hand-wringing will count for nothing. The RINOs are just as guilty of treason as the Dems. They are purposely destroying the US, and changing the SC is only part of the plan.
More honest: I revere everyone and everything until I sit on the bench.
