John McCain: Elena Kagan Was Aiding & Abetting the Violation of a Law While at Harvard (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 7:51 PM
“She called it a policy. But, it wasn’t a policy it was a law. And, so she was encourging, tt seems to me that she was aiding and abetting violation of a law
John McCain told Sean Hannity tonight that Elena Kagan as Dean of Harvard’s Law School aided and abetted breaking the law by not allowing ROTC recruiters on campus. No wonder Barack Obama likes her.
Kagan not only kicked the military recruiters off campus but she attended anti-military rallies on campus.

Kagan told fellow protesters at the rally:
“I’m very opposed to two government policies that directly violate our policy of nondiscrimination and directly impact our students,” stated Dean Kagan at the rally. “The first is ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell.’…. The second is the Solomon Amendment which effectively forces educational institutions to make exceptions to their nondiscrimination policy when it comes to the military and military recruitment.”

When he’s right. He’s right!
Elena Kagan only complied with Federal law when Harvard was about to lose billions of $$$ of my (tax) moiney.
She’s really Supremo Corto material.
Not.

LAMBDA sound too much like NAMBLA, Maybe there one and the same.
Her pro-gay stance tell me she is a definite homosexual. Putting a homosexual into the supreme court will be our ultimate downfall. We already know how she will vote on “gays in the military”, she would rather see the US military be destroyed and the safety of the country with it, so that a “handful” of homosexuals be allow to join. From my time in the military, the only place I saw homosexuals where in the administration job’s. I seriously doubt enough homosexuals will volunteer for the frontlines to replace the non-gay soldiers that will not reup. Just the thought of joining a “gay” military will prevent many “straight” potential recruits from joining. It’s a stigma that will undermine the military.
Obama keeps talking about ending DADT, this right here is his ace up his sleeve.
Joanne commented:
Obama is making sure that his eligibility will never be questioned in the Supreme Court. He is protecting his own butt.

“…aided and abetted breaking the law…”
Oh Juan, you were such a “Maverick” before when it suited you – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5G3kH1PvvU
Kagan is simply a Maverick SCOTUS Nominee
Jerry M commented:
Elena Kagan is little more than a Democrat political hack who has no judicial experience and no meaningful scholarly experience or record of accomplishment. Her time in the Clinton administration no doubt launched her into the management role of Dean of the Harvard Law School. The President of Harvard, at that time, was Larry Summers who was another Clinton crony who served with Kagan during the 1990′s. She is a terrible choice for the Court given the many far more qualified liberal and conservative members of the judiciary nationwide. Given that this is an Obama nominee, we should not be surprised that it is more about politics than about demonstrated judicial competence. If Americans do not get worked up about these types of life time appointments to the highest court in the land, they should not complain about the consequences.

She’s just another Chicago-anti Constitution, anti Captalist– Obama/Rogers rubber stamp.
It’s actually insulting to most of the Justice’ currently on the Court.
aro5o75 commented:
sorry, capitalist
bear commented:
It must be eating mccain’s guts out to PRETEND to be an actual American. The words are right, but the lyin’ rino sayin’ ‘em doesn’t mean a word of it. Phony patriots and liars like mccain should be removed from office. He’s just hearing the bugle call and millions of charging hoofbeats from the Tea Party Cavalry! (Last seen in Utah after takin’ care of Bennet-the-rino.)
Costa commented:
Kagan is only being nominated by Obummer to cover his butt on any lawsuits that make to the Supreme Court over his eligibility.
So he publically insults the Court in the State of the Union address but wants to put his good friend on it? No paper trail on her either. Birds of a feather flock together.
Hope they both fly away.

I have a lot of respect for John McCain III (his incarceration in Viet Nam, plus my father worked for his grandfather directly) but as a US Senator. McCain has been very eratic. This time he is right on.

This looks like Chastity Bono’s twin brother, I mean twin sister, er, twin thing?
Kevin commented:
Elena Kagan is Chastity Bono? Am I getting warm?
donh commented:
McCain is lame for working yesterday’s talking points on a nickle and dime issue too petty to derail Kagan. The way to destroy Kagan, which she should, is to prove her appointment is political corruption, a payback for playback. David Axelrod is a grandchild of the Gas House Gang in NYC, and so is Kagan. We have several prominant NY assemblymen in serious criminal violations regarding the NY state pension funds. People like Tom DiNapoli, Alan Hevesi, Fernando Ferrer, Anthony Seminerio, Brian McLaughlin and cash and carry larry Seabrook. Many of these criminals have hired David Axelrod’s marketing firm AKPD or his associate at the firm John DelCeCato. Now in mid April the state solicitor Andrew Cuomo closed down criminal investigations slapping a few wrists and punishing some fines . What we need to know is Kagan’s involvement , or lack there of in these criminal probes. Did she act in any way to see, hear, and speak no evil against this axis of axelrod. Did she pressure Cuomo to go easy, and get Patterson out of the way so Cuomo can be Governor as pay playing the game. Did Obama then in turn hand a seat on the Supreme Court to Kagan in pay for her play. We are dealing with the ABSOLUTE corruption of our country. I have had it with these senile granpa Republicans like John McCain who just want to get along to their next rotary club dinner, and not put up one hell of a fight to save this country.

Oh, there are reasons Obama chose her. Many reasons.
ogee commented:
Yeah. Keep talking John. You better speak up. I hate to think I wasted my one and only ever republican vote on you if you keep quiet. Tell your buddies to grow a spine too. You are all going down if you fail us. That’s a promise.
The commies stole my party and it doesn’t look a heck of alot better on your side, but hey it’s a little better. Sometimes…At least for now.

Hey Bear #10: You’re not worthy to shine John McCain’s shoes. McCain is a man who thinks for himself. I doubt he pays much attention to phony armchair culture warriors like you. Have a nice day.
Chisum commented:
The Obama Team’s Criminal-Justice Model Fails
So we have an administration that in all its condescension and criticism of the prior administration came up with a flawed alternative but that still lacks a full grasp of the alternatives. How could this be? Perhaps they are getting terrible advice from the Justice Department. One wonders what Elena Kagan thinks of all this. She, of course, is part of that brain trust. Maybe she should answer some tough questions at her confirmation hearing, starting with her views on what existing law says about terror suspects. Her colleagues might find it enlightening — provided she knows the law better than Holder.

The Republicans have pretty much already caved on this — see John Cornyn etc.
*sigh*
Sandy commented:
But McCain hasn’t made up his mind about how he’s going to vote on Kagan. Wants to give her a fair hearing.

John Gargano commented:
In light of this nomination, the Republicans should stop being civil, exhibit some spine and some outrage and do everything they can possibly do to thwart her nomination.
She is clearly way outside of the mainstream, and a disgrace to our nation. She clearly represents the views of only a paltry fraction of the people.
She has no business being on the Supreme Court and any Republican that is up for re-election that does not work diligently to oppose her nomination should not be re-elected in November.

I voted FOR Palin not McCrazy. He’s a RINO and this is well known. He may not make it in the next election because of Tea Partiers like me getting into the nomination process. We are taking back the Republican party. powder is dry.
bear commented:
kagan is no more qualified for the SCOTUS than feeney or the rino mccain. If the Republicans don’t filibuster, through out the “gang” of rinos.
