He once came back from conference and told us sadly that the other Justices had rejected his proposal for a new Supreme Court rule. “What was the rule, judge?” we asked. “When one corporate fat cat sues another corporate fat cat,” he replied, “this Court shall have no jurisdiction.” — Elena Kagan on Thurgood Marshall.
In other words, ignore the Constitution from someone who supposedly was a Constitutional scholar. Thurgood Marshall was a disgrace to the bench.
Police put 42 rounds into a car with toddler and mom after robber had carjacked their car.
“We had a very volatile situation,” Sheriff John Rutherford told the Florida Times Union. “I just don’t want to try to speculate on why they felt the need to shoot at the suspect while he was in the vehicle.”
“White House complains about CBS News [Washington Post] blog post saying that possible Supreme Court nominee is gay.”
So, my question is, what is wrong with being gay? Does the White House have a problem if she is gay? Is there anyone except the White House who cares?

“I’m glad they’re fighting over health care and everything else. Let them have at it. But I think that all you have to do is read the paper every day to see how many people there are who are deeply, deeply troubled.” Former President Clinton, April 16, 2010.
The former President is correct, there are many deeply troubled people out there, but the ones who are deeply troubled are the ones who don’t believe in freedom, but believe that their needs justify the seizure of someone else’s means to meet them. The deeply troubled people are the ones who wish to control the country instead of promoting freedom and the belief that each person is able to and responsible for controlling their own lives. The deeply troubled people are the people who believe that liberty means freedom for them to control others by force. The most deeply troubled people out there, however, are the ones who will lie, cheat, and deceive in order to pervert the meaning of the Constitution and freedom for their own power. Only a truly disturbed and troubled person would want to control others. Only a deeply disturbed person would want to have the power of life and death over an entire country.
