The White House said Friday that Elena Kagan's membership on an advisory panel for the securities firm Goldman Sachs Group Inc. wouldn't disqualify her for a position on the Supreme Court.

From 2005 to 2008, Ms. Kagan was a paid member of the Research Advisory Council of Goldman Sachs Global Markets Institute...

Is there anyone in the current administration that doesn’t have ties to GS?

The tip of the iceberg. And eighty percent of the American voters you see driving down the highway haven't a clue.

[Tarpon]

I am afraid you are right.

[ilovesarah2012]

I guess we do.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

No whack left libs on the Supreme Court!

Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said the Goldman advisory group met once a year for a day-long conference about public-policy issues. "The group wasn't involved in making any investment decisions for the company," she said.

Looks like they're saying it's not a problem because these "advisers" were paid for doing nothing.

[george76]

Nice.

Paid to do nothing

[precisionshootist]

“the Research Advisory Council”

You gotta love how these left wing nutjobs make up important sounding titles for themselves. I wonder what research she did? Many of these paid consultants are really “paid off”.

and can someone please tell me how in the hell wing nuts like this get these jobs? This is the Dean of Harvard Law School!

If I had gone to Harvard I would want my money back.

Sorry for the rant

[ichabod1]

Isn’t that like, a bribe?

[tcrlaf]

Doncha know?

Taking money from Evil Goldman is ONLY evil when they aren’t paying DEMOCRATS

[colorado tanker]

Sure. Put movers and shakers on the advisory panel and pay them well to do nothing. Someday, GS may need a favor . . . .

Well, that Ahole in the WH was the Law Review Honcho.

...and how many dollars does Goldman have invested in “Cap & Tax”??.....but that CCX - Goldman case with all Obamassiah’s cronies knee deep in the make peolple buy AIR scam will NEVER make the USSC docket.....will it??

[freekitty]

But her and Sotomayer’s overrulings by big courts might.

Something smells in Obamaland.

Do we really want another one that has been overruled by the courts? I mean this woman wants to be on the highest court in the land and she is overruled as was Sotomayer.
