What is dishonest about this issue? Do you think people come to the Supreme Court having done no prior work?

Of course the direct link of Justice Thomas and anti Obamacare efforts are ignored. I am surprised they would open this hypocritical can of worms, well, actually that is par for the course with GOP.

How about lyhing to a direct question on the subject of her involvement in the issue prior to being nominated to the SC? Do you consider that honest?

Maybe you could elaborate a little before I attempt to answer what seems to be a smear.

Dur4ing the confirmation hearings she was asked directly if she had ever worked on the health care bill or ever made any public comment on it. To both of these questions she answered "no". All the while she was 0bamas soliciter general and in charge of the efforts to pass the bill.

Read the reports in the newspapers and from Newsmax. If there is a smear going on it is as usual started by the liberals.

An impeachment would surely recuse her until the Senate managed to vote pure politics and do away with the impeachment.

Bill Clinton's acquittal was by a very large number, too. Surely he didn't do anything wrong, or maybe he was very close to the end of his term and the Republican Senators just didn't want to destroy his legacy. Bunch of damned fools feeling sorry for a sex predator.

If enough evidence suggests that she should excuse herself but doesn't it will look bad for Skippy and the Nitwits that passed obamacare.

I guess you wouldn't see any real issue with the sentence from the link of the OP that would indicate a bit of conflict of interest. Did Kagan reprimand the man for making that statement?

In one series of email exchanges between Kagan and staffers, her top deputy says about legal challengers to Obamacare: “Let’s crush them.”

What newspapers? The only source I can find is Newsmax and I consider them in the
same category as World Nutz Daily....in other words BS.
