Anyone read Kagan's viewpoint on these preceedings?

Oh they were written years ago and I pretty much agree with all of it.

The article you cited is incomplete in that it leaves out important information.

What actually happened is that she prohibited the military recruiters from the Office of Career Services but allowed them to recruit from the Office of Harvard Veteran's Association.

Which actually makes sense. If I were running a recruiting event, the Veteran's Association would be the preferred location as the students would get a chance to talk with people who either work with veterans or veterans themselves.

But at no time did she kick them off the campus, only out of one office on campus. Since she did not have the authority to violate the University's rules, moving the military recruiters to the Harvard Veteran's Association offices, which was the decision of her predecessor, was probably the best compromise possible.

Fact is those on you on the right have little room to speak. Allito was known as a RW bushie from day one yet he got in nice and smooth. And has ruled to pass major Right Wing policies through the court.

I can hardly believe the comments and the attacks from the right. All indications point to a more right leaning coward than the one she replaced.

Alito got in nice and smooth

Last I checked Alito was not exactly the bastion of conservative values.

I'm curious, what justification can you provide for calling any Supreme Court Justice a coward?

especially when they are right leaning.

i thought left leaning judges were the ones that took the opinion that the criminal is the real victim of the crime, and that those poor murderers and child predators need to be sentenced to a life of ease in a rehabilitation resort.

Kinda like the left wing judge that sentenced the arsonist last year who set 9 cars and two houses in my neighborhood on fire (mine included)... it was estimated that he caused nearly $2,000,000 in damages and placed at least 5 lives in danger by setting fire to homes which contained sleeping individuals.

whats the maximum sentence? We were advised that he could be looking at 10 years in prison.

what would i have given him? 5 years with the chance at parole or early release on good behavior

what did this liberal retard judge give him? A deferral to Probation with zero jail time. he cant drink or do anything illegal for the next ten years... whoopie fuggin' doo

basically the kid was sentenced to 10 years of what most of us would consider normal life.

THAT sir... is a coward judge

I can't speak for all "lefties" but I assure you that if the day ever comes when I'm wrong about something then I'll gladly admit it.

I disagree. You might be able to make a case that the judge was wrong, even stupid, but based on your example cowardice has absolutely nothing to do with it.
