If the U.S. Senate approves President Obama’s nomination of Elena Kagan for the U.S. Supreme Court, it will be the end of the First Amendment right of free speech and move the United States a giant leap closer to Obama’s goal of making us a socialist nation and becoming America’s first dictator.
Kagan, has only written nine articles in her career and in those writings, she has made her stance on the restriction of free speech clearly evident. Starting with her 1993 University of Chicago Law Review article, “Regulation of Hate Speech and Pornography After R.A.V,” Kagan wrote, “I take it as a given that we live in a society marred by racial and gender inequality, that certain forms of speech perpetuate and promote this inequality, and that the uncoerced disappearance of such speech would be cause for great elation.”
Just having such speech disappear is not enough for nominee Kagan. In her 1996 paper, “Private Speech, Public Purpose: The Role of Government Motive in First Amendment Doctrine”, she actually believes that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution “is best understood and most readily explained as a kind of motive-hunting.” She went on to support the idea that it is acceptable for the government to restrict any form of speech if it is deemed to be offensive to society or to the government.
In the case of United States v. Stevens, first argued in 2009, the brief, which was signed by Kagan, stated, “Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs.”
Does the First Amendment allow for the freedom or restriction of speech to be determined against societal costs? What it does say is, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” (emphasis mine). At the time our Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution and The Bill of Rights, the term ‘abridging’ meant ‘to deprive’ or ‘diminish’. They understood the importance of giving people the right to openly criticize their government, especially when those criticisms were justifiable. Yet, Elena Kagan is determined to redefine ‘abridging’ to mean that those in charge will have the power and legal right to determine what one can say about the government, about sinful lifestyles or anything else that might be deemed offensive by the leadership or the vocal minority.
But Wait! There’s More!
Why would President Obama want to appoint someone to the U.S. Supreme Court who has had no judicial experience whatsoever?
Perhaps it has something to do with her undergraduate thesis where she wrote how it saddened her that socialism was declining in America, especially for those that wanted to change America. Obama has surrounded himself with socialists, Maoists and Marxists and Elena Kagan would now add one of his socialist groupies to the highest court in the land.
But Wait! There’s More!
Kagan has also openly endorsed and supported giving the office of President of the United States more power and control than the office already has. We have already seen a tremendous increase in presidential powers during the Clinton administration, but Kagan wants to give the president a larger role in regulation of affairs that deal with his own policies and agenda. This increase in power and restriction of speech could be just one step away for establishing President Obama as America’s first dictator.
When you add all of these together, you should be able to see a clear picture of a person that wants to take away our freedom of speech, give more power to the President and who would be overjoyed to see our country become a socialist nation and Obama wants to put on the Supreme Court where she can effectively rule to make these things happen.
Despite what you think of President Woodrow Wilson, he gave us a very wise warning when he said, “The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it. When we resist the concentration of power, we are resisting the powers of death. Concentration of power precedes the destruction of human liberties.”
It is time that Americans stand up and be heard. Everyone needs to contact their U.S. Senator and tell them NOT to approve the appointment of Kagan to the Supreme Court. She is an abomination to everything our Founding Fathers stood for and we need to resist the President’s appointment and let him and everyone else know how anti freedom, anti liberty and anti American Elena Kagan is.
But Wait! There’s More!
Did you know that Elena Kagan, Dean of the Harvard Law School, banned the United States Military from recruiting on the campus of Harvard University? Unbelievable... or is it?

Obama's Labor Secretary Approves of Jobs and Pay Raises For Illegals Despite 10% Unemployment...
America is being crippled by 10% unemployment and what does Obama's Labor Secretary have to say? In a recent public service announcement, Hilda Solis stated, “Every worker in America has a right to be paid fairly, whether documented or not,” Obama's Labor Secretary is encouraging illegal immigration and subsequently stealing jobs from hard working American citizens.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) called Solis’ comments “an explicit invitation for illegal immigrants to bring the resources and power of the Department of Labor to bear against American employers.” The "We Can Help" Web site says the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division is responsible for administering and enforcing some of the nation's most important worker protection laws – and is “committed to ensuring that workers in this country are paid properly and for all the hours they work, regardless of immigration status.”
In a different section of its Web site, the Labor Department states that “employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the United States (i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S.) and aliens authorized to work in the U.S.” These blatant conflicting statements show that Solis’s liberal agenda is the problem. Illegal immigrants need to be arrested and deported, not rewarded.
Rep. King accused the Obama administration of using the limited resources of American taxpayers on behalf of illegal aliens. “It is shameful that Secretary Solis has to be reminded that her primary duty is owed to the American people, and not to those who have illegally entered our country,” said King. “The Obama Administration needs to realize that the American people have a right to have their immigration laws enforced.” Not until we enforce our current laws and secure our border will Americans be safe and have equal rights in the work place.
What follows is a transcript of Solis’s PSA:
"You work hard, and you have the right to be paid fairly. I'm U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, and it is a serious problem when workers in this country are not being paid every cent that they earn. Remember, every worker in America has a right to be paid fairly, whether documented or not. So, call us -- it is free and confidential -- at 1-866-487-9243. We can help."
Having documentation is not a burden. It provides a safe and civilized society in which to work and live. We welcome legal immigrants in to our country. But those who break our laws show little respect for our society or way of life. Encouraging illegal immigration is not a solution to the problem. Rather, it is a new problem altogether. Hilda should be held accountable for her encouraging the breaking of U.S. laws.
