Senate Confirms Elena Kagan's Appointment To SCOTUS

eldavojohn writes "As expected, by a vote of 63 to 37 Elena Kagan has been appointed as the 112th member of the Supreme Court of the United States. Kagan, only 50 years old, has no judicial experience. The Washington Post explains: 'Other justices have corporate law backgrounds or a long record of arguing before the court. Kagan worked briefly for a law firm and argued her first case before an appellate court 11 months ago. It happened to be before the Supreme Court, the first of six cases she argued as the nation's first female solicitor general.' Her fair use views and free speech views have made her a focus of Slashdot recently."

Yeah, you are right.

Thinking that a Supreme Court justice (who is supposed to determine if things are in keeping with the US Constitution) should uphold free speech....well that's downright stupid.

The USA was built on the Free Enterprise System. For better or worse, it is THE system of free people. This woman lamented the supposed reduction in socialism (her words).

How about I come over and redistribute your property to myself?
