Obama Will Nominate Elena Kagan To the Supreme Court
Mr Pink Eyes writes "President Obama has made his choice to fill the vacancy in the Supreme Court that was left by the retirement of Justice Stevens. According to this article that choice will be Elena Kagan."
Who the fuck is Glenn Beck?
It's easy. If you're left-wing and anti-authoritarian then you're against unrestrained capitalism and government. From that vantage point Obama is a right-wing shill that implements the policies that benefit the health-care industry, the military industrial complex and the beltway insiders that benefit from all that.
If you're right-wing then he hasn't started lynching all the "coloreds" yet and hasn't dropped enough bombs on the non-Christian "savages" and so obviously he's the second coming of Marx.
Read/watch the link if you want to know why moderate leftists are worried that this appointment does not counteract the right-wing drift the court has taken over the years. If Obama wanted to leave a left-wing legacy then he'd have appointed a counterbalance... not a "moderate" "consensus-builder".
Because it's flamebait, jackass. Hell, I'd argue the comment "Apparently, for some Slashdot readers, political sanity means supporting a fully-Goldman Sachs administration." is nothing but shallow trolling... though it looks like you might actually believe it, so flamebait is probably appropriate.
The simple fact is the article is horribly, ridiculously biased. I don't give a shit if you disagree with the thesis, those are the facts. Pointing that out doesn't mean you support this administration or it's policies (whatever you believe they are). It simply means you desire journalistic integrity.
You, apparently, don't feel that way. Fine. But take your trollish flamebait elsewhere, we don't need it here.
She may well simply be just another cookie-cutter activist who may not enforce the constitution. This trend is quite disturbing.
The scary thing about a democrat appointed Supreme Court Justice is that they tend to be tech savvy enough to have sold out to tech-related companies.
Republicans fight about mundane thing like abortion or gun rights or religion.
Democrats fight about things like new technology taking away our rights.
I don't know what would be worse. The general population might understand the more mundane things than technology things, and therefore easier to incite to cry foul.
This just in: you're a jerk.
