State Run Media Ignores Truth in RNC Criticism of Elena Kagan

Justice Thurgood Marshall gave a speech during the year that marked the bicentennial of the Constitution. He claimed that the Constitution, as originally drafted and conceived, was "defective"; only after 200 years had the nation "attain[ed] the system of constitutional government, and its respect for... individual freedoms and human rights, we hold as fundamental today."

Elena Kagan used the same phrase "as originally drafted and conceived, was defective", in a college thesis.

Marshall was referring to slavery.  And as an activist judge, was wrong about the Constitution being defective.

Northerners favored eliminating slavery, but realized we had no hope of defeating the British without the South.  The South wanted to count slaves as population to increase Southern representation in the new American government.  The North wanted slaves not be counted, since the slaves would not be represented in the new government.

The compromise of 3/5ths of a man was actually a first step in eliminating slavery.  Secondly, the amendment process allowed for changes like the 14th amendment.  Had the Democrats not fought against the rights of blacks up through the mid-60's, more changes would have happened sooner.

Therefore, Marshall was wrong.  Had he actually understood history, he's have realized that the Constitution was well drafted and conceived.  It was crafted with the knowledge that the founders did not know everything and could be amended.  Further, it made one step toward actually eliminating slavery.

This is what the RNC means, and they are right.  Unfortunately, liberals and the state run media refuse to get it.  They also refuse to explore the truth.  Perhaps, because our educational system doesn't teach it.

Obama described Kagan as a woman who will represent “everyday people” and “ordinary citizens.” Kagan repeated the meme in her brief comments.  Lock step Alinskyites.

She's a lightweight.  She's a leftist.  She's a "living and breathing" type.  There's no way on God's green earth she's anywhere close to a moderate.  She'll endorse Obama's leftist agenda.  This is why she was nominated. Stevens was a schmuck.  She'll be the same should she be nominated.

I have only one question for her confirmation hearing:  Is Obamacare Constitutional?  For those of you slow on the uptake, the answer is no.  There are so many reasons as to why.
 
If she ducks or says yes, dump her.
