Interesting reading Festus! Thanks. I noted in a statement attributed to Kagan that she feels that judges should favor
"those that are despised and disadvantaged" above others. Don't recall reading anything in the Constitution about
favoring anyone --- Justice is supposed to be blind and ALL TREATED EQUALLY under the law. If someone is truly
despised and disadvantaged, it's been my experience over the years that they have deserved that title for one reason or
another.
Don't get me wrong here. I believe in giving people a helping hand, but ONLY if they are willing to help themselves in
conjunction with that helping hand; someone who is prone to work their way out of problems rather than sit on their butt
and wait for others to provide for them.
In my opinion, if Bork was rejected for being too straightforward in his judicial beliefs, then Kagan should be equally rejected for with holding or mis-stating her true judicial beliefs. It appears that her "judicial" beliefs are social than judicial.
Let's all demand from our Congressmen that they reject her nomination in favor of someone who will uphold our
Constitution rather than interpret it to their viewpoint. We do not need more legislating from the bench, especially at the
Supreme Court level.
Kill them all and let God sort them out!
