Big whoop.
The lame stream media will play up the “youthful college thoughts” angle and the idiot Repukes will vote for her and wait in line to get their photo taken with her.
Server must be overloaded. It takes forever to view.
Watch the lawsuits. This is probably just as actionable as viewing the One’s college loan information.
She IS a socialist? She’s a shoe-in then!
Waiting
Placing Marxists on the Supreme Court with a lifetime position?
What could go wrong with that? /sarcasm
The list, ping
Can anyone find that college photo of Kagan standing on the sidewalk; flexing her arm?
Yea, I doubt her views have changed. Skip ahead to the conclusion and you can see her pining for Socialism’s rise like a dead parrot pines for the Fjords.
An associate of Obama is a socialist. Who knew?
Good..Maybe we can get it on every last desk of Republican Rhino Senators....
A lot of people change their opinions after college.
Other folks in college are just good at regurgitating the liberal pablum that their professors feed them, so they can get the grades needed to graduate.
By itself, a socialist college thesis doesn’t indicate very much about someone’s thoughts now and sometimes even their thoughts then.
I remember an “A+” political science paper I wrote 33 years ago in school, the professor was really impressed by my trotskyite voice.
As Kagan has said, she was just exploring her brother’s radical ideas. /sarc
First, congress will somehow never see this and second, if they did would be to scared to say anything. They are pussies.
Given that she defended plagiarists with the imprimatur
of Harvard Law School, one wonders what she
plagiarized in HER thesis.
She wrote about socialism?
Why am I not surprised?

PROFILE: ELENA KAGAN
As an undergraduate at Princeton, Kagan wrote a senior thesis titled
"To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933."
In the "Acknowledgments" section of her work, she specifically thanked her brother Marc, whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas. In the body of the thesis, Kagan wrote:
"In our own times, a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States. Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalisms glories than of socialisms greatness. Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation. Why, in a society by no means perfect, has a radical party never attained the status of a major political force? Why, in particular, did the socialist movement never become an alternative to the nations established parties?...
"Through its own internal feuding, then, the SP [Socialist Party] exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. The story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialisms decline, still wish to change America. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight ones fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe. Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies. In unity lies their only hope."Lots more on Kagan here:

Well knock me over with a feather. I’m sure it is “compassionate socialism” though. What the hell country do we live in? I hardly recognize it anymore. November can’t come soon enough.
Have we ever seen Obama’s Thesis?
Well we knew she was a radical socialist. Here’s another radical idea — Let’s see that no one who votes for her confirmation gets reelected.
