In the commencement speech given by the head of the regime, he bemoaned how many rumors get started concerning his administration. He talked about rumors that have ‘no traction’. The answer that would remedy the situation is that given in Scripture “Avoid all appearances of evil”. Since he is not sure if the Bible is valid, then he may need to consider George Washington’s advice-”Avoid entangling alliances”.

It could be that since he was not educated in the great Western traditions, that he is unaware of such advice. Had he followed that advice, then the latest nominee to the Supreme Court would not be controversial at all. The regime has selected Elena Kagan for a position on the SCOTUS. Mind you, she has never been a judge, but apparently that does not matter. In her case, she was the dean of the Harvard Law School and prior to that worked at the University of Chicago, where she tried to influence him to seek tenure as a professor there. Both are schools that the Obama’s have connections with. The nomination may not be paybacks for some deals made, but they sure look like it. It is a big coincidence that the Universities that he was on the Law Review and served as professor at are the ones that she is associated with (Hmmmmm…). She was even an editor of the Harvard Law Review, where Barack Hussein Obama was the first black President of the review, even though his name did not appear on any legal articles (Hmmm…). Make no mistake, Kagan and Obama have a long connection with each other.

When Kagan was at Harvard, there was an episode involving two professors which were found to be guilty of plagiarism. She handled the situation with kid gloves and gave them penalties lighter than what would have been placed on students. She absolved the professors of the actions and let them go without penalties (Some role model eh?).
Hey at the University of Texas, students could receive an F in the course and be given a disciplinary record. I suspect that many liberals at UT and elsewhere will sell their souls in order to support Kagan, despite her record on matters like plagiarism which they claim to abhor. Since she had one time been considered for the UT law school dean, it is best that they passed her over. It would not be the first time that liberal media pundits give a free pass to plagiarism violations.

Kagan also worked at the White House during the Clinton years (Hmmmm…). The positions she held were associate counsel to the President and then assisted with domestic policy. Given the legacy of the Clinton White House, it leaves one wondering what kind of advice was given to them.

She is already the Solicitor General of the United States (e.g. the lawyer that advises the Attorney General on initiating law suits). Bear in mind that this regime has taken stands on the Day of Prayer, the jailing of the militia members in Michigan, stalling on the Fort Hood Islamic terrorist attacks and other issues that are not in keeping with the values of Texas or protecting the American people.

The whole Kagan nomination has the appearance of paybacks. Although it may not be, it is very suspicious. George Washington went out of his way to avoid the appearance of impropriety. This administration steers straight into those appearances and then engages in legal debates over whether or not there is evidence or traction on the matter. Only a lawyer could devise such a strategy. A statesman would avoid such impropriety. A lawyer will assume the adversarial position and challenge the critics to “prove it”.

Liberty for Texas and the South!
