Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion

The more I read about Kagan, the more I dislike the idea of her getting a lifetime appointment to the SCOTUS. Reading her positions http://www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/directory/index.html?id=112&show=bibliography reveals that she does not respect the right to free speech, in fact, her decisions that have been over turned reveal her lack of understanding of, or respect for the US Constitution. She seems to view the Constitution as something that that should be subverted based on the increased power of those who share her ideology.. and she's not some moderate. She also has shown a willingness to provide cover for her allies who've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, Tribe and Summers being just a few.

Liberals disregard for history and tradition are fatal flaws in developing someone to counter a Scalia on the court. Without the recognition of man as flawed, the pursuit of the utopian man leads to paths best left untraveled (or previously traveled and abandoned).

Negative rights have a broader appeal and more just application than positive rights. Liberal doctrines rely more on the goodness of the person than conservative philosophies do.

As far as Kagan being able to bring people together with poker games, it is further evidence of Obama's naive tendencies. Scalia likes to hunt and Thomas likes to travel the country in his motor home and stay in Walmart parking lots so he can visit with everyday Americans. Maybe she is planning a cross country motor home hunting tour for the court after her confirmation.

Kagan is an elitist snob like The Chosen One. She is a far Left ideologue and her opinions will show it. I greatly dislike the idea that there are Republican senators who think she's just fine for this court. She is crazy unqualified, but that should be no surprise from the most unqualified and inept administration in my lifetime.
