Ben Shapiro has the top story today at Human Events:
I truly like Elena Kagan, but she is doing a terrible job of telling the truth during these hearings. At yesterdays proceedings, she lied in no less than five areas of the law, none of them boding well for the future of the Constitution.
Abortion
Kagan was asked by Senator Jeff Sessions about a memo from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). That memo stated, [A] select panel convened by ACOG could identify no circumstances under which [the partial-birth] procedure would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman. Kagan notated next to this sentence, This, of course, would be disaster.
When asked about it, first she tried to deny that she had written it; she would admit only that it is my handwriting. Later she acknowledged that she was in fact responsible for the comment.
Then she obfuscated with wild philosophic and legal gyrations that would put a stripper to shame: President Clinton had strong views on this issue and what he thought was that this procedure should be banned, in all cases except where the procedure was necessary to save the life or to prevent serious health consequences to the woman and those were always his principles. And we tried over the course of the period of time when this statute was being considered, actually twice, to get him absolutely the best medical evidence on this subject possible.

I don't suppose there's any chance
indyjohn Thursday, July 1st at 10:31AM EDT (link)that Kagan could be impeached when, as she obviously will at some future date, prove in one of her opinions that she perjured herself in testimony before a Senate Committee? Shouldn’t perjury be sufficient reason for removing a judge from the bench? It would be in a sane world.
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.

I always "truly like" people who are massive liars.

It does look as if we will be getting another judge who views law and the courts as a playpen where you can work out your frustrations, exercise your glands, and smother issues with the vagaries, personal urges, and compulsions of your personality. Whatever the distortions or perversions may be in that bag.

Why?
smitch61 Thursday, July 1st at 11:33AM EDT (link)Would the GOP roll over yet again for this one? I am still upset over Sonia’s appointment. How can you vote to nominate an individual that could not give a straight answer on the 2nd Amendment? We now know her thoughts after her descent the other day. Now we will have Kagan.. wonderful. I hope Ginsberg does not drop dead or the won will have yet another nomination to completely change the scope of the court. Will the GOP wait for that nomination? when it is too late?
People laughed when Jeb Bush wanted to go around the country and give a “teaching” course. It is too bad the republicans are not good at getting the message out. I cannot stand the republican party, and I am sick and tired of their taking my conservative vote for granted because they know they have it. idiots.
Radical leftist lying about everything to get her way?
