And based on that little snippet, you jumped to far-reaching conclusions about Kagan's personal views that conveniently match your own conservative bias.

Wow. That's really so...intelligent and not at all ignorant of you.
Your post made me chuckle. LOL @ email chain letter forwarding.

But, but .. I read somewhere if you don't forward it, you'll have bad luck for a year!

Your conclusions are drawn from your own creepy personal issues: "...political science, psychology, and other touchy feely graduate programs are looked down upon by those who study REAL subjects."

2. This also has been explained again, again and again. She DID NOT bar the military from the Harvard campus. In order to use the Harvard Law career center for interviews companies and organizations were required to sign a non-discrimination form that included non-discrimination against gays and lesbians. The military would not sign it and therefore couldn't use the career center. Once the policy was changed the military recruitment rates from Harvard Law school did NOT change at all.... But feel free to keep screaming.

3. I think the line for a radical is a bit different from my perspective. I consider a radical someone who wants to legislate Christianity in to the law. I guess this is all a matter of perspective.

4. Ahh.. There we go. There is no information out there as to her sexuality, and gay, straight or bisexual... It's irrelevant. This is your personal bias and homophobia.

I know it's much more fun to scream half-truths that are congruent with your political perspective, however, people should do some reading and learn the truth so they don't make fools of themselves.
1. There has been 111 Supreme Court justices. The majority have had experience on the bench. Funny how that works- selecting judges for a judicial positon. To note the exception to the rule would be similar to supporting a community organizer for president. We know how that has worked out.

2. Right. She did not ban the military. That is why they were not allowed there. And, of course, we know that SHE IS NOT GAY, as the main defense was in regard to "don't ask, don't tell". That is simply hilarious. Of course she is anti-military.

3. I consider a radical to be someone who has been raised and expressed only views of one political EXTREME. This is Kagan. She said she did not even KNOW a republican while growing up and her father was a radical left wing New York lawyer. She has only expressed partisan political views and by that bias is exteremly dangerous on the bench. ALL of her views will be, and have been, far left wing. Justice is tilted far left with her and anyone who cherishes a free court should be frightened.

4. Right- she is not gay. And Sotomayor is not a Hispanic racist. Obviously, she IS GAY. The fact that she will not state so suggests that she is hiding her pro-gay agenda and is afraid of it. I am constrained by the fog of liberalism and can see who she is and exactly how she will vote- non objectively and totally left wing.

Wow! Thanks for pointing that out. Since 40 of the Supreme Court Justices (including some of the most storied and famous didn't have previous experience on the bench, that makes the proportion much higher than I though!

Over A THIRD didn't have previous experience as a judge. That's much HIGHER than I thought. I bet that almost makes it-- NORMAL! You would say if a third of a population had something in common, it would be normal, wouldn't you?

It kind of makes me think this whole shriek about previous experience as a judge is a canard!

Many German Socialist's endorsed the Nazis for one reason or another,as any student of modern european history aware.

IMHO the person who dressed this Jewish lady in Nazi garb deserves,richly, to burn in hell.
If the judge is jewish,as Christians believe, I suspect they will.

As your post/s make clear beyond all doubt, you and reality are complete,
total and utter strangers.
Profoundly diseased mind.

About one third have not had previous judicial experience.

If you look at the link, however, nearly ALL far eclipse the experience of Kagan and most were Attorneys General. That is a far cry from Kagan, who is grossly unqualified by any stretch of the imagination. You can spin all you want. Read it.

Why are all of Obamas friends marxists?

Could it be that the MSM just missed this point?

Right you are, they actually practiced law or had extensive experience as US Atty Gen...they didn't observe it from their ivory tower.
