People don’t understand this is the most unqualified person ever to sit on the Supreme Court, in terms of real world experience.

Her legal experience consists of 1-2 years as an associate in a private practice law firm. The rest of her time consists of being in academia or being in make work jobs in the Clinton administration.

Ha ha - that cartoon is great! Just what I had been thinking - I’m surprised that Scalia didn’t ask Kagan to come back up to the bench after speaking on behalf of the government.

What a fundamental mus-understanding of the Constitution this guy illustrates.. “a charter of negative liberties” isn’t a justifiable statement within any amount of logic. It has a list of enumerated powers, and it can’t/shouldn’t go beyond them. Sheesh!

She acts, talks and thinks like him, so why not just shave her head and call her Curly. Moe and Shemp would be proud to have her in their act.

(Too bad they’re all dead.)

Maybe Kagan doesn't want to contemplate the coercion factor in the individual mandate, but she'll understand what mandates and coercion really mean if Congress passes a statutory mandate compelling federal judges, under a penalty of a heavy fine or even impeachment, from sitting on cases in which they had previously advocated for or funded or otherwise worked for one of the parties in the controversy before the Court. In other words, voluntary recusal of a judge should be replaced by mandatory recusal in such instances!

She should then tell us what clause permits the federal government to drop a boatload of cash on anyone.

Correction to my post # 66:

The word "compelling" should be replaced by "prohibiting".

Those “boatloads of free money” are being borrowed from China in the name of WE THE PEOPLE, whose kids and grand-kids will have to pay it back... that is, if the country survives in spite of the vicious leftist Commies like 0bama and his obedient Pet Rock, “Justice” BagLady Kagan.

Klown Kagan doesn't understand the Constitution much less care for it and uphold it, as she has sworn to do.

The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! - Patrick Henry, 1775

Forget about the plains of Boston, my friends. She is one of the cabal of malignant tyrants now forging our chains in the fever swamps of Washington!

Is it time yet, Claire...?

Apparently they gave her the job because she is a gay woman and not for her brain?

I think she as talked to obama already on what the vote was plus I also think she has been talking to obama since she got on the court.

This was another reason why I wanted a republican who had balls to beat him as I would want an investigation into how obama has been running his admin and the corruption plus giving our secrets and our ally secrets away.

Indeed!

Does anyone believe that Kagan has not called DumBO with the results?

He knows - no question about it. Why would his "plant" in the Supreme Court not have the required "flexibility" he speaks fondly of (now that we have been enlightened as to how this administration achieves its objectives)?

Kagan's statement (more politically motivated than legally supported) and lack of ethics in not recusing herself from this decision diminish the efforts of the other Justices in upholding America's laws and decisions to the highest level humanly possible. One has to wonder what the other Justices think of this appointee and how they feel about her failure to recuse.

she has never been a judge, she has hardly any legal experience for the job she has and she only got put there as a plant for obama and to push obama’s socialist agenda.

It’s truly shocking that she got on the bench and she needs removing ASAP

Not only is she stupid and fugly, she is a crook too.

In 1996 she defrauded the SC during the partial birth abortion ban case.

She altered a statement submitted by a doctors’ group to mean the opposite of what they intended.

The statement was persuasive in the case....and it was false.

I wish Scalia would have then said: “And where does the federal government just get this ‘boatload of money’ from in the first place?”

Hint: taxpayers supply it. We all would be supplying it as that’s what the mandate and the penatly is all about.

If it is government money, that means it’s money government has TAKEN from citizens. One way or the other. Directly or by people buying our debt that we (ie citizens) promise to pay (via future taxes) back with interest.
