Papers show Kagan is not "a dangerous leftist" and that "she is nothing of the kind"
Edited on Sun Jun-13-10 12:50 AM by usregimechange
If nothing else, the papers should mute the Republican outcries that Ms. Kagan is a dangerous leftist, since they show she is nothing of the kind. But she will have to become much more than a conciliator to fill the shoes of the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, in many ways the conscience of the current court. We hope that other documents to emerge in the weeks to come, and her confirmation hearings starting this month, will help fill in the many blanks about the nature of a future Justice Kagan.

1. That's sad.
We need some "dangerous leftists" on that court as a counter balance to the 5 right wing extremist Bush Crime Family appointees who have ACTUALLY proven themselves to be dangerous (First on 12/12/2000 overturning a Presidential election and more recently with the Shittyzens United case, enabling unrestrained corporate hijacking of elections.
