Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The White House and the lapdog media have an unusually depressed, belligerent tone when it comes to the upcoming opinion on Obama Care. They’re even more depressed than they should be given the pathetic showing their case (not their lawyer, but their case) made during oral argument. Put another way,
Continue readingIn the days and weeks preceding oral argument before the Supreme Court on ObamaCare, all Democrat (politicians and pundits) and a surprising number of conservatives were convinced that the Supreme Court would sustain ObamaCare. After two and a half days of argument, the conventional wisdom has suddenly shifted. Democrats are
Continue readingKim Priestap, who blogs at Up North Mommy, got an impassioned email from the Democratic Party, raving about Elena Kagan. Does it rave about her brains? No (although it mentions as an aside that she’s “among the best legal minds this country has to offer,” which is a depressing comment
Continue readingThis is a priceless matched set: Kagan’s critics have learned that, when she was Dean at Harvard Law School, she insisted that the school’s insurance provider pay for sex change operations. Her approach to that subject may explain what happened to Markos “Kos” Moulitsas’ long lost twin brother. What? You
Continue readingYou’ve probably noticed that I’ve had nothing to say about Kagan. There is nothing to say. She’s a bright, often charming, lady from the far Left who, entirely separate from her anti-Constitutional ideology, is grossly unqualified in terms of professional experience and intellectual heft to be a Supreme Court justice.

Americans who believe in the Constitution and its freedoms must not: Those [traditional Senate] rules [for confirming Supreme Court Justices] might be summarized as follows: (1) The president is entitled to an appointee who generally shares his views (i.e., a liberal president
Continue readingI read E.J. Dionne’s fatuous defense of Kagan in The New Republic, and started formulating a response to his superficial argument comparing Kagan to Roberts. (It was so superficial it almost, but not quite, devolved into “and they’re both homo sapiens.”) Fortunately, I was spared that effort when I read
Continue readingI know that much is being said amongst both Progressives and Conservatives about Kagan’s possible lesbianism. Progressives are mad at her for being in the closet; Conservatives are worried about her orientation affecting her rulings as a Supreme Court judge. Both are completely wrong. Regarding the Progressive’s disdain for Kagan’s
Continue readingI’d like to analyze a Harvard’s law prof’s defense of a Harvard law dean. The Prof (and ex-dean himself) is Robert Clark, who wrote an op-ed in the WSJ defending Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan’s approach to the military during her tenure as dean of Harvard Law. He spells out
Continue readingTo no one’s surprise, Obama nominated Elena Kagan to fill the opening on the Supreme Court. Many have pointed to the fact that she’s never served as a judge before as one of the main reasons Obama did so — she has no paper trail. Since I have a generally
