She’s the kind of thinker needed on the Supreme court.

Or so said the late Richard Estrada.

Estrada had a Master’s in history from the University of Chicago, and was a syndicated columnist for the Dallas Morning News. He was also a board member of the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

I think he was on to something.

Ditto for Myron’s comment.

But multi culti plus open borders has Balkanized the Republic.

The question few ask: How will it all end?

Did Douglas and Ruth Ginsburg agree with each other on the DC Circuit Court? Do Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy represent Little Anthony and the Imperials? This whole ethnic diversity kick is a disease now pervading both right and left in America.

[Excellent observation. Spot on.]

(2) The other perverse assumption that is dubious is “Ivy League equals Genius”. Hence all Supreme Court nominees from Ivy League schools are, by definition, all brilliant. And the Obamas (Columbia, Princeton, Harvard Law) are brilliant – not from anything they wrote but from the name of their alma mater. It is no more valid than assuming “Black equals Dummy”. Meanwhile, my boss, who attended University of Scranton was able to accomplish for $ 1 million what the Defense Department had not done for $ 200 million – but, heck, he didn’t go to Princeton so he’s a jerk! The assumption confuses averages (the average Harvard student does better than the average U of Idaho student) with individual performance.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/14/pat-buchanan-too-many-jew_n_576948.html

It links to a Media Matters article with a similar headline: “Buchanan complains that with Kagan, Supreme Court will have too many Jews.”
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201005140037

While I did not find the original column among Buchanan’s better pieces, I do find it fascinating – and more than a little frightening – how it is being so willfully misrepresnted. And as a former copy editor, I understand the importance of an attention-grabbing headline – but this is ridiculous.

There is probably nothing wrong with Kagan being a closet conservative. And Obama might have a good reason for nominating her to the Supreme Court. I just hope it’s not something caused by politics.

I have just seen news programme about immigration in the UK. Cameron has said that he will reduce immigration to tens of thousands a year from the hundreds of thousand it currently is. Let’s hope so.

Don’t think Kagan will be defending Jan Brewer though.

So said a family member to me last year.

So, are we surprised that a “journalist” would utter such BS?

After all Obama is just another entertainer. Ditto for the buffoon Lawrence O’Donnell. Both have Mickey Mouse credentials.

If Kagan is confirmed, the Court will consist of three Jews and six Catholics (who represent not quite a fourth of the country), but not a single Protestant, though Protestants remain half the nation and our founding faith.

It does seem strange that no descendants of the people we owe for this nation are on the SC.
