Obama's Radical Court Pick Has Only 60% Success Rate With Supreme Court
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, June 28, 2010, 4:26 PM
The Supreme Court has only agreed with Elena Kagan, Barack Obama’s latest radical pick to the court, in 3 out of 5 decisions. Today she lost another one.
The Caucus reported:
Elena Kagan’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings haven’t even begun, and the score is already 1-0 against her.
The Supreme Court on Monday morning ruled against Ms. Kagan in a case she had argued as solicitor general when it decided that a quasi government agency that audits public companies is unconstitutional. The board’s members are appointed and removed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and not the president – a violation of Article II of the Constitution, which vests executive power in the president, the court ruled…
The White House notes that Ms. Kagan’s overall Supreme Court record is 3-2. That is, three wins and two losses in the five cases she has argued.
At least this is better than Obama’s first radical pick to the court Sonia Sotomayor who had been reversed, vacated, or criticized nine out of ten times by the U.S. Supreme Court. 9 of 10 times.
Of course, the media always called Bush’s mainstream picks “conservative” but call Obama’s radical far left picks “centrist.”
More… Sen. Sessions slammed Elena Kagen’s qualifications during the Supreme Court Nomination Hearings today.

Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.
lyle commented:
In both cases, we know exactly what we’re going to get – a judge who votes the Democratic Party line without exception on every case for the rest of her life.
Neither Sotomayor nor Kagan is the intellectual and judicial heavyweight liberals have claimed they want. They often insist they want a nominee with the same capacity and persuasiveness they see in Justice Roberts.
But there is no such thing. Mediocrities like Sotomayor and Kagan are the best their Party has to offer. If they were serious and informed about the Constitution, they would be of no use to Obama or the Democratic Party.

The court room will rule that ODummy can golf and not work, and that anything goes and who cares, as long as the USA keeps losing jobs. The plan in action. Golfing, playing basketball, and bowling are always on the agenda. Then at night, parties and drugs and hip-hop and who cares.
The GPA Of the white house is Ds and Fs. And it shows in the USA course of progress. Going down anyone?
Valerie commented:
Obama thinks the Constitution is STILL flawed, even WITH the current amendments.

He doesn’t understand the style of writing the Constitution: he does not understand limited powers. He thinks there’s something wrong with the concept of limited powers of the government.

down with dems commented:
No one can reverse the Supreme Court… so when Kagan botches something the next time, no one is going to be able to fix it. Keep that in mind, Senators.
Robert commented:
It strikes me that the Obama is picking such dunces for the slots. At least he could come up with somebody of some distinction rather than these everyday legal nobodies.
NeoKong commented:
The fact that she goes against the court is why he picked her.
Obama knows that eventually all he has done will end up before the courts and he wants a left wing puppet there to vote reliably against the Constitution.
His goal is to destroy the protections of the Constitution. Not to preserve them.
Subadar Lal Khukhri commented:
We know the kind of activist judge she will be.
She believes it is appropriate to break any laws with which she disagrees. Like the Solomon Amendment and throwing military recruiters off campus while our gallant troops are fighting two wars.
Obama is packing the Court so he can take away your liberties.
If the GOP senators don’t filibuster . . .
We’re so screwed.
Opus #6 commented:
Were there no judges in the entire United States that he could have picked? Why did he pick someone who has NEVER served as a judge?

Sweetness and Light, on Kagan’s nomination, commented:
“Open-minded, pragmatic, and progressive.” — Gee, the New York Times describes Ms. Kagan much like they did Mr. Obama, before he was elected. Funny, how he turned out to be so different from what was advertised.She even smokes!”
{unvetted, inexperienced, lefty elite from intellectual ivory tower land,short on paper trail, long on ‘rule of law’ bending..we’ve been down this path before. Sorry to say, but like her boss,she’s unfit for the job she’s applying for & dead wrong for our country. I hope the GOP goes after her tooth and nail.}

Right, Sojourner,
Hammer and tongs!
Highlander commented:
60%! Jeez, I could do better than that with a Ouija Board or one of those magic eight-balls!
PBCliberal commented:
By this logic, the justices who wrote the minority opinions that agree with Kagan or Sotomayor don’t deserve to be on the court either.

BINGO! I suspect the $1.2 million he’s spent to date in legal fees dealing with his ineligibility issue is because he’s stalling until he stacks the SCOTUS with judges who’ll rule that Natural Born Citizen doesn’t mean born on US soil to two US citizen parents. Of course, this isn’t the only issue that socialists in the SCOTUS will come in handy for him, it’s just the only one I can see from here so far.
Chris commented:
(Tip) Read and download Elena Kagan’s college thesis (Socialism in NYC) here. http://www.scribd.com/doc/31359104/Elena-Kagan-s-College-Thesis
This with Sotomayor’s Norman Thomas Yearbook Quote makes Obama 2 for 2 in nominating socialist Supreme Court Nominies.
Stanley commented:
In over 50 years you can’t find anyone with less experience than Kagan. But than again you don’t need a lot of experience when your a rubber stamp. Filibuster!!!

‘A Pattern of Socialist Associations’:
Obama’s Supreme Court Nominee, Elena Kagan (the Early Years)
[If Elena Kagan is a moderate, why then has she long associated with people connected to three interrelated organizations: the Communist Party USA, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee/Democratic Socialists of America, and the far-left Washington, DC think tank, Institute for Policy Studies?
[..]
In her undergraduate thesis at Princeton, entitled “To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933,” Kagan lamented the decline of socialism in the country as “sad” for those who still hope to “change America.” She asked why the “greatness” of socialism was not reemerging as a major political force:
In our own times, a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States. Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness. Why, in a society by no means perfect, has a radical party never attained the status of a major political force? Why, in particular, did the socialist movement never become an alternative to the nation’s established parties?
“Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness,” she wrote in her thesis. “Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation.”
Kagan called the story of the socialist movement’s demise “a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America … In unity lies their only hope.”]
and just a reminder re:
The Obama Socialist / Marxist / Communist Reader
More Proof of Obama’s Socialism.
In 1996 he ran as member of New Party
[Obama won his State Senate seat as a member of the New Party, an extreme left wing group run by a former Jesse Jackson campaign manager. Its mind-blowing that Obama could have got to the top of the Democrat ticket without at one wise man screening him. Well the Dems made this bed, now they must live with these shocking truths about the type of communist-like changes Obama would bring to the America.]
New Party Online News – Elections Update
[Illinois: The first NP member heads to Congress, as Danny Davis wins an overwhelming 85% victory yesterday (he got a higher percentage of the vote in that district than the President). NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested. Interestingly, it appears that the local Democratic machine is trying to distance itself from our folks. At a "Democratic Unity" march on Chicago's West Side, a flyer invited community members to join with a host of local democratic candidates. The only two west-side Democrats not listed: NP members Danny Davis (U.S. House candidate) and Michael Chandler (Alderman and Ward Committeeman).]
