RE :”NEW YORK – President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, argued certain forms of speech that promote “racial or gender inequality” could be “disappeared.” In her few academic papers, Kagan evidences strong beliefs for court intervention in speech, going so far as to posit First Amendment speech should be weighed against “societal costs.” In her 1993 article “Regulation of Hate Speech and Pornography After R.A.V,” for the University of Chicago Law Review, Kagan writes: “I take it as a given that we live in a society marred by racial and gender inequality, that certain forms of speech perpetuate and promote this inequality, and that the uncoerced disappearance of such speech would be cause for great elation.” Read the stunning report on how the unthinkable – America's demise as a constitutional Republic – may already be on the horizon! In a 1996 paper, “Private Speech, Public Purpose: The Role of Governmental Motive in First Amendment Doctrine,” Kagan argued it may be proper to suppress speech because it is offensive to society or to the government. “

This is much different than I have always thought of the 1st amendment(being a white hetrosexual male). But this is the way many or most college campuses view freedom of speech. Looks like a good one for Republicans to bring up on TV and the hearing. I imagine Obama would like her views on campaign finance reform too.

But of course there is nothing wrong with Obama saying “Teab***ers.” Some groups are more “equal” than others, to paraphrase Orwell.

I don't mean to be crude, but why do so many of BO's appointees look like bulldykes?
