Kagan participated in and whitewashed unethical ghostwriting and plagiarizing campaigns while Dean of Harvard Law School, as well as a cover up, and inserted her own false information into a report from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) concerning partial birth abortions, that changed the entire view on the practice.

About her decision to vote for Kagan’s appointment, Sen. Collins said she has, “the intellect, experience, temperament and integrity” to serve as Supreme Court Justice. Yesterday, the other Senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe, said she too would vote to confirm Kagan and gave similar reasons for that decision saying, “with the strong intellect, respect for the rule of law, and understanding of the important but limited role of the Supreme Court that I believe is required.”

As with anyone eager to confirm Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court Justice, we must question even their ability to make rational judgments on others character. Who could look at Kagan’s record and believe she was a person of “integrity” or “respect for the law”, when she has thumbed her nose at the law and worked to cover it up.

Have our own ethics and moral guidelines become so clouded that actions such as those of Elena Kagan should be overlooked? That is certainly one conclusion I would have to make, unless, of course, Snowe and Collins are no different than the other 98 U.S. Senators who fail at their jobs miserably and haven’t spent anytime at all gathering facts about Elena Kagan.

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions yesterday made comments attacking Kagan’s nomination saying it would be a “dangerous” appointment. The video (below) is 3:21 long and not once does Sen. Sessions refer to any specific reasons she would be a “dangerous” appointment other than he thinks she is cast in the mold of Barack Obama and specifically hand selected by the President for that purpose. He may be right but why not take the opportunity while addressing the rest of the Senate and specifically lay out all the unethical and law breaking reasons she would be a “dangerous” appointment? Yet, another example of a U.S. Senator failing his constituency by not speaking out with all the facts.

What’s to hide?

“Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional. Britain, you chose well.”

Here’s that video:

An article yesterday in the Jackson Hole News and Guide quotes Bangs as now saying 45 breeding pairs and 450 wolves will “never be threatened”. I guess Bangs doesn’t learn from his first mistake. In 1987, 30 pairs and 300 wolves would easily do the trick, why should anybody believe for one second that his statement today is any more honest than the ones he made 25 years ago?

It’s clear the feds set the rules, we play by their rules and when the rules don’t fit the game they are playing, they change the rules. Bangs admits that the first day on the job for wolf recovery he knew 30 pairs of wolves wouldn’t be enough and we should trust him now when he tells us 45 will never be threatened?

This kind of political manipulation has to end now.

We can’t cherry pick our freedoms and demand prohibition on everything we don’t approve of.

People complain about the “new media” and how it can intrude into people’s lives but when used to force politicians in Washington to be accountable, you got to love it.

Update:

Then he wows us with his profound knowledge and arrogance once again by explaining why his comments in the above video were……………ready?????…………….that old liberal/socialist/communist standby????…….? “TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT”
