Obama Nominates Elena Kagan to be Next Supreme Court Justice

Please, Lunar, start a movement to get Obama to kill the Kagan appointment.  We Republicans would like nothing more than so-called "progressives" fighting so-called "progressives" over whether Obama's Supreme Court nominee is so-called "progressive" enough, creating a wedge among "progressives" and ensuring lower Democratic turnout in the mid-terms.

If I really cared about her "ideology" (and I don't), the most troubling part of her record is her views on free speech, one of the few areas of the law where there are actually some writings by her.

paternalism

If you hate paternalism why are you a republican?

You have that backwards.  Those who think government is the solution are usually Democrats.  Those who think government is the problem are usually Republicans.  Government knows best is the mantra of so-called "progressives", not conservatives.
