It must be scary to be who they are.
One day, we are totalitarian control freaks who want to post police at every ice cream shop to check for papers.
The next day, we are pseudo-anarchists who want no government at all.
Today, apparently, we are anarchists in their
scary world (emphasis mine):
Now an...
Not Tea Partiers, gun nuts, wingnuts, NASCAR dads and moms, or bitter clingers.
Not loony-lefties, nutroots, socialist revolutionaries, or Kos-sacks.
No, there is a gathering crowd with a thirst for revenge, who will not be satisfied unless and until we get on the Supreme Court…. (wait for it) …. diversity of law schools.
Hell...
The ugly truth behind the anti-Israel campus movement lies just below the surface, but it needs to be coaxed out.
Left-wing academics and student groups, who claim only to care about human rights, do not want to admit that they are in political bed with rabidly anti-Semitic Islamists, so they look the...
Just ask Jack McConnell, who appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee today.
McConnell has been nominated by Rhode Island Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (for whom McConnell used to work) and Jack Reed for an open seat on the U.S. District Court in Rhode Island.
McConnell made a fortune in the tobacco lawsuits, which settled...
From my
favorite political scientist (who lists an outdated place of
employment in his post bio)[see update],
Can Kagan Win Over Liberals?:
Recently, I argued that President Barack Obama should take advantage...
The Obama administration is beginning to push back against the accusation by four law professors that Elena Kagan had a discriminatory hiring record while Dean of Harvard Law School.
I highlighted these claims — and the paucity of logic behind them — in my prior post, So Why Am I Already Defending...
And by “no one” I mean only the politicians who voted for Obamacare.
Because they willingly ignored warnings that they were selling
public policy based on phony

Prediction – The internet will not slow down after the November
election:
Because Palin’s new book will cause the
entire internet to collapse long before the election:
Sarah Palin’s New Book. Get the Dramamine.
Since the book will be about “Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag.”
Which...
On Monday I posted about Elena Kagan’s written answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee in connection with her nomination for Solicitor General.
I noted that while Kagan evaded and talked around many questions, which is all too typical for a nominee, Kagan did not avoid the question of whether there is a...
Phew:
We’d heard the former governor actually dated Kagan when they were students at Harvard, but a spokeswoman for Spitzer denied any love connection. “They have been good friends since 1977 — when they were college freshmen. They never dated,” said Spitzer’s rep.
Not that there would have been anything wrong with it.
Update:...
I have the answer to the question of why we get conservative rock stars nominated for the Supreme Court, while they get groupies.
The NY Times laments that liberals cannot manage to get a
full-throttled liberal nominee on
the Court to do battle with Antonin Scalia (emphasis
mine):
The selection of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to be the nation’s 112th justice extends a quarter-century pattern in which Republican presidents generally install strong conservatives on the...
In a
post early this morning, I noted that in written answers to
questions in connection with her confirmation hearings for
Solicitor General, Elena Kagan wrote:
“There is no federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage.”
In response to my post, Allahpundit (here and here), Ann Althouse and Darren Hutchinson suggest that Kagan merely...
Later this morning, Elena Kagan will be nominated for the Supreme Court seat currently held by John Paul Stevens.
The meme has taken hold that Kagan is a stealth candidate who has avoided taking positions on important constitutional or other issues throughout her career.
But on one issue of critical importance to the...
