A very unconstitutional Elena Kagan is emerging.

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010


Red flags went up, for me, during the speech in which Obama nominated Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court. Not only did he say she was his friend, in her speech she indicated, “During the last year as I have served as Solicitor General, my longstanding appreciation for the Supreme Court’s role in our constitutional democracy has become ever deeper and richer.” I presume that she was marked incorrect in law school for her answer concerning Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution.

I still have not found the word democracy anywhere in the Constitution. I have, however, found a document where it is deeply and richly reverenced. Along with unions, health care plans, welfare, social security, rent on property to pay for public schools and the like.

Obama 44%, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer 39%

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Fifty-six percent (56%) of U.S. voters say their views on illegal immigration are closer to those of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer than to the views of President Obama. The two finally met last Friday at the White House to discuss Arizona’s tough new immigration law which the president opposes.

A new Rasmussen Reports nationwide telephone survey finds that only 34% say their views on illegal immigration are closer to the president’s. Eleven percent (11%) are not sure.

Eighty-one percent (81%) of the Political Class say their views are closer to Obama’s, while 72% of Mainstream voters say they think more like Brewer.

Given a 2012 election contest for president between Obama as the Democratic candidate and Brewer as the Republican, 44% of all voters support the incumbent, while 39% prefer the governor. Nine percent (9%) like some other candidate, while eight percent (8%) more are undecided.

But since 54% of voters don’t know enough about Brewer to venture any kind of opinion of her, this finding is more of a reflection on the president than any possible match-up with Brewer.

Tea Party Candidates, Women Roar in Primary Election Night

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

The primary elections Tuesday amounted to a night of messages — from the Tea Party, from female candidates and for the Democrats.

With hundreds of primaries held across 11 states, a number of candidates made history while others pulled out come-from-behind wins. The elections helped set the stage for a November general election in which incumbents are girding for a series of hard-fought battles.

In California, the Republican Party has placed two women at the top of its ticket for the first time, nominating former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina for Senate and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman for governor.

Fiorina told Fox News on Wednesday that she’s been “itching” for the general election fight against incumbent Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer for a while.

“It really feels great to be here on Wednesday morning and able to take her on … As of today, game on, Barbara,” she said.
