To Recuse or not to Recuse
At long last, the Supreme Court of the United States has officially announced that it will review the constitutionality of President Barack Hussein signature legislation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.
More specifically, SCOTUS will decide the merits of a lawsuit brought by 26 states and the National Federation of Independent Business that contends Congress exceeded its power by imposing an annual penalty of $95 or 1% of gross income, whichever is greater, on individuals who do not secure insurance by 2014. The penalty is scheduled to rise to $695, or 2.5%, by 2016 with a family limit of $2,085.
The limit was indeed benevolent of Democrats who rammed the PPACA through Congress with no assistance from Republicans and now it would be fair of them to insist that Obama’s Justice Elena Kagan recuse herself from the case.
Rare on the SCOTUS level, recusals refer to situations in which a judge or prosecutor is removed or voluntarily steps down from a legal case, most often when the judge or prosecutor has a conflict of interest.
Justice Kagan clearly has a major conflict of interest in determining the constitutionality of the PPACA and should recuse herself from deliberations and a decision on the matter, or be forcibly removed from the bench and be seated in the court along with other known proponents of Obamacare.
Those scenarios, however, are as likely as Democrats admitting that seizure by the federal government of Americans’ health care and one-sixth of the national economy was a screwball, socialistic idea in the first place.
Kagan’s job prior to being confirmed to the Supreme Court was service as Obama’s Solicitor General in which position she was charged with representing the Executive Branch in cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and acting as the chief courtroom lawyer for the government, preparing legal briefs and making oral arguments in that court.
At Kagan’s 2010 confirmation hearings, she dodged key questions and swore she played no part in crafting government responses to anticipated lawsuits contesting the legality of the newly-passed Obamacare legislation, swearing under oath that she merely ”attended a meeting where the cases were discussed, but that she wasn’t involved in the government’s filings.” (http://tiny.cc/p2njk)
If you believe that whopper, the Brooklyn Bridge is unavailable but I can make you a very good deal on the Queensboro.
In a just-released email exchange between the Solicitor General and Justice Department attorney Lawrence Tribe, they discussed the pending legislation and in one Elena exclaimed, “I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing.”
What’s even more amazing is that Solicitor General Kagan was able to dissociate herself . . .

The Madness of Queen Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama
The Madness of Queen Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama
Sorry to disillusion anyone but things aren’t always what they seem to be and are rarely what some people wish to be. That sad note of enlightenment applies especially to Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama.
All those fat kids out there whom the FLOTUS has been weaning off burgers and fries and turning on to kale wraps and grilled hummus will be disillusioned. All those kids who knocked on the door at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Halloween and were given raisins and dried fruit by President Barack Hussein Obama’s wife will be disheartened.
Nevertheless, truth must be told: Michelle Obama isn’t a very nice person and I know, I know, it’s ungentlemanly and rude to say such a thing.
Likewise, it’s unladylike to trash the nation that accorded you the opportunity to feel special by saying, a mere three years ago, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country” and telling Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the bride of the president of the French Republic, a few months later what she thought of her First Lady job: “Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”
Harry S Truman once said, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!” I would say, if you’re a malcontent, go back to Chicago!
I somehow doubt Mrs. Obama visits the White House kitchen very often except maybe to tell the chefs to be sure to check calorie counts on meals they prepare for the president–even as she gobbled up (1500 calorie, 141 grams of fat) braised short ribs while on one of her many vacations at Vail Village, Colorado and downed 1565 calories (cheeseburger, fries, chocolate shake,) on her July visit to D.C.’s Shake Shack.
LiveStrong.com described the ribs meal as “decadent.” They don’t know the half of Michellian decadence, and hypocrisy.
When any woman, any man, repetitively and publicly demonstrates a distaste for his or her country and her position, brazenly milks that unelected post for all it’s worth, and preaches one thing while practicing another, her class, her integrity, and her ”ladyhood” as well as her patrioism are called into question.
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson began life in modest surroundings as the daughter of a civil servant and a secretary. She rode that modesty to Princeton where she truly blossomed–into the closet radical she is today, a fact she hides admirably well.
However, try as she did, she couldn’t hide her senior thesis and her racially-charged praise for the Black Panthers, her endorsement of “the need for Blacks to separate themselves from White society in order to strengthen the Black community,” and assailed the “white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society.”
Never heard that? That’s not surprising but feel free to peruse “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community–A Thesis” here: http://tiny.cc/bnmtc and “Michelle in Hell” here http://tiny.cc/2pmw0
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson graduated Princeton and went on to wed Barack Hussein Obama and the rest is history, her history of bad-mouthing our country, of electioneering at Chicago voting venues, of hostessing lavish White House birthday bashes for her hubby, of poetry readings featuring black racists like “Common,” and of establishing records for profligate vacationing during lean times.
The thing is, Queen Michelle doesn’t give a damn about discretion or public perceptions of her conduct because she is confident Barack’s MSM will cover for her, which it has, again admirably.
Still, as an ostensible Christian, she must be at least minimally burdened by her behavior, a factor . . .

Obamacare, the Stealth Abomination
Obamacare, the Stealth Abomination
A Democrat friend, (yes, I do have a few of them), said to me yesterday, “Well, I’ll at least be able to keep my own insurance when Obamacare kicks in, right?”
Her question demonstrated what is one of the slickest aspects of the intentionally-mislabeled Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 which few in Congress read before voting on it and passing it: Few Americans outside Congress know what’s in it, either.
The very questionable constitutionality of the PPACA will, hopefully, soon be settled by the United States Supreme Court. The issues on SCOTUS’ docket include but are not limited to whether our federal government can legally–forget morally–order citizens to purchase health insurance or be subjected to financial penalties.
Constitutionality aside, assuming Associate Justice Elena Kagan fails to recuse herself in the proceedings and the Court decides in favor of President Barack Hussein’s signature statute designed to seize control over one-sixth of the nation’s economy, another issue becomes almost as significant, my friend’s and millions of others’ ignorance of PPACA’s provisions.
Justice Kagan has as little integrity as the president and despite having labored on behalf of Obamacare during her employment as Solicitor General is unlikely to choose honor over Democrat loyalty by recusing herself.
To bolster her anticipated non-recusal and the unethical Obama administration, Democrats launched a smokescreen pre-emptive attack on the financial ethics of the lone African-American (conservative) member of the Supremes, Clarence Thomas, but that’s a whole other story.
Back to my friend.
She’s not a stupid person, despite being a Democrat . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=5621.)

Jeremiah Wright and Elana Kagan--"Progressives"
Jeremiah Wright and Elena Kagan--"Progressives"
. . . Rev. Wright is anything except slow. He knows well how to stir up his mostly-black audiences: Castigate the white man, not for purposes of instigating hatred of whites, mind you. He simply tries to educate African-Americans in the finer points of history, which he ably accomplished last week in a speech to the First African Baptist Church in Savannah.
Addressing a “Youth Explosion” conference, the reverend repeatedly called whites liars to the delighted assemblage who hooted and howled in approbation as he recounted the history of white lies, not little white lies either. See and hear Rev. Wright trace the history of white liars lying about everyone from Columbus to Osama bin Laden . . .
The House members contend that Kagan in her previous role as Obama’s Solicitor General Kagan “actively participated with her Obama Administration colleagues in formulating a defense of PPACA” and offer documents just obtained from the Justice Department as proof.
Said documents had to be pried loose from the DoJ via a Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, request by CNSNews.com. Not unexpectedly, a very uncooperative DoJ is now seeking to block release of any additional information.
After all, freedom and dissemination of information . . .

The Gruesome Commitment Of Elena Kagan Part Two
The Gruesome Commitment of Elena Kagan Part Two
Commitment can often be an admirable feature of one’s life and character. It denotes absolute dedication, strong and unshakeable beliefs, and an admirable steadfastness.
However, when that commitment leads one down the road of “disgraceful” and “unethical” conduct, words used by former Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, to describe the actions of Solicitor General and Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, commitment becomes a markedly negative trait.
As a radical leftist–and the president has a constitutional right to nominate such a person no matter what damage she can ultimately wreak–Ms. Kagan no doubt is committed to any number of causes. Hopefully she does not lie and dissemble to accomplish her goals with respect to those causes as she did with her commitment to the gruesome practice of partial birth abortion.
Medically described as intact dilation and extraction or intact D & X, partial birth abortion involves the barbaric execution of what is often a fully-formed, intact, baby by dilating the uterus of a mother-to-be and extracting said baby. That clinical description avoids the methods of the barbarism, the details of the “extraction.”
Briefly, following dilation, the partial birth abortionist . . .

The Gruesome Commitment of Elena Kagan Part One
The Gruesome Commitment of Elena Kagan
Not that it makes any difference at this point since Solicitor General Elena Kagan will certainly be confirmed next week by the Democrat-controlled Senate as the next associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, but Americans should fully comprehend who and what they’re getting in the person of Ms. Kagan.
I don’t just mean that she’s liberal to her core and I don’t refer to her antipathy toward the military nor to the rumors that she’s a lesbian. I refer to her commitment to murdering defenseless babies.
Now I know that such a damning statement raises the hackles of “progressives,” (liberals, leftists, and most Democrats), who tend to rise up en masse to defend a woman’s “right to choose” and deny en masse that aborting “the product of conception” is tantamount to killing babies.
However, when a fetus is 20 or more weeks old, is viable outside the womb, and possesses all of the God-given human features of an infant, when it looks like a baby, sucks its thumb like a baby, reacts to external stimuli, has a fully-formed brain, heart, lungs, and all the other organs of a tiny human being, only those deeply committed to eradicating its life at all costs can deny it is a living person.
Elena Kagan is such an individual and a female individual at that, a member of the female gender which is specially engineered to be emotional, caring, nurturing as opposed to dispassionate, detached, and murderous. . .

More Outrageous News
More Outrageous News
A few outrageous even if anticipated recent news items:
Kagan Endorses Brain Suctioning: As her senate confirmation hearings draw to a close, Elena Kagan is a sure thing to become the next Supreme Court associate justice.
She will join Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor on the liberal wing, the pro-abortion wing, the infanticide wing of the High Court. That was a given before the Senate hearings since Kagan had confirmed it during her tenure with the Clinton administration when she advocated abortion policies to the left of Bill Clinton.
Clinton was ambivalent on the subject of partial birth abortions, that procedure in which a viable, often full term baby is partially born with only its head still in the womb.
The birth is pre-empted by a doctor who thrusts a scissors or other sharp instrument into the baby’s brain and then a suction device is used to suck the brain out and collapse the head to enable easy passage through the birth canal.
The gruesome procedure, . . .

Elena Kagan, Political Softball
Elena Kagan, Political Softball
An old and suggestive Clairol commercial asked the age-old question: “Does she or doesn’t she? Only her hair-dresser knows for sure.”
Ostensibly, Clairol was implying that the beautiful damsel with flowing, glistening tresses in the ad may be using Clairol hair dye to color those locks but no one will ever know.
We also may never know for sure whether Obama’s solicitor general is or is not a closet lesbian yet that question seems to be consuming the blogosphere, if not the mainstream media. Granted she looks and acts like a lesbian and even batted from the left side of the plate during her softball years. If it quacks like a duck, etc. it must be a duck, no?
Point is, so what if Kagan is gay? . . .

Elena Kagan, Gay Justice?
Elena Kagan, Gay Justice?
Just as it was with Judge Sonia Sotomayor, the nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan as replacement for SCOTUS Associate Justice John Paul Stevens was a done deal as soon as President Obama nominated her. Kagan, a Janet Napolitano lookalike, is a shoo-in.
The Democrat Party’s 59 seat Senate majority insures it. Republicans would need an unlikely unanimous agreement of its 41 members to filibuster her nomination.
In addition, Sotomayor was a woman and a Hispanic, Kagan is a woman and, apparently, a lesbian. What else did they need going for them? It was payback time in both instances. Two prime Obamian constituencies were in line for some recognition, the Hispanic-Latino community and the gay-lesbian community, and they’ve now gotten it.
However, why the White House became all exercised over a CBS online story that outed Kagan as “the first openly gay justice” was baffling when it hit the fan three weeks ago: Then she was only on the list of possible nominees and not yet even on the short list but why all the perturbation?
Did the Obamians consider open or hidden lesbianism a negative? . . .
