Kagan Declines To Say Gov't Has No Power to Tell Americans What To Eat
2010-06-30
Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson!



This is not the time to waffle, Kagan. Unless you have something to hide . . . .

#7  Gee, AC, you make it sound like a criminal enterprise.

There are 58 Democratic senators, one for each state. Kagan is an androgynous ideologically reliable member of the East Coast elite (Caution: multiple redundancy alert.) OK, so she's never tried a case, taken a deposition, drafted a contract, probated a will or done any of the other tasks that practicing lawyers do, but that's not what this is about.

#6  Now, now, Rantbourgeoisie, we must face facts.

With our Diminishing Resources™ and the urgent need for Social Justice®; the new, progressive society of the future must inevitably make hard decisions about the allocation of resources.

It's for the children™, you know.

Naturally, those who Work for Peace, Enlightenment, and Social Justice®; the administrators who make the tough decisions, the multicultural academics and workers who support them, and the media personalities who enlighten us; have greater needs than ordinary workers and peasants.

You just cannot expect leaders like Barbara Boxer or Keith Olbermann to subsist on the same gruel rations as, say, a car bicycle mechanic or an IT tech. Their retention of limousines and private jets would similarly not be an injustice but a publicly responsible effort to save one of our most precious resources, the time and energy of Those Who Sacrifice® so much on our behalf.

#5  It doesn't look like she has a problem telling herself what to eat - LOTS...
Ahem. Some of us regular readers eat well, too; as does at least one mod I know extremely well ...

#3  I saw it proposed a bit ago that she waffled because didn't want to insult the other SC justices.

If a liberal wrote this it suggests even liberals know Obamacare is wrong. If a conservative wrote it, it's quite a zinger!

#2  Of course she waffled. That's what Supreme Court nominees are supposed to do in the confirmation hearings, See Bork, Robert.

She wouldn't give you a straight answer on what she had for lunch.

#1  Hmm. And I thought that a simple NO, it can't, would have settled the question?
