Wow! She basically thinks that there is nothing the federal government cannot do. This administration is so scary.

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people. It is an instrument for the people to restrain the government, least it come to dominate our lives and interests."

Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." Under no circumstances does this beast belong on the High Court & certainly not as nominated by The Usurper

"courts would be wrong to strike down the lists that they think uh uh, duh , duh huh, that are senseless because they think they are senseless" ..LOL... what a small mind she has. Hey Kagan I agree with you 100%. Let's completely neglect the instincts of common sense in our courts and continue to legislate on the premise of auto pilot where the destination is clearly nowhere because thats exactly where your "rationale" is.

I agree completely.

She's NEVER even been a judge and she's worked for GOLDMAN SACHS. Checkout her clip saying the government should be allowed to to ban books. She IS the sign of the times.

I heard her legal tenure, as a professional in the field, was no more than 6 months???

I have more experience in the military than Ms. K has in the legal field. Why have I not been nominated for Director of Homeland Security??? My active duty service time was 2.5 years. I also would not "try" to uphold the law nor "try" to be unbiased regarding my work. I would continue to act based on the oath I swore to prior to my nomination. I WOULD uphold the law and WOULD not have a bias-DISGUSTING!!!

The Commerce Clause was from abuse under the Articles of Confederation, by States that did heavy duties on imports--and passing through--trade, evidence by 11th Amendment. The Commerce Clause is broadly interpreted and reduce the Bill of Rights beyond trade into their own Supreme law, also seen free speech restriction by personal obscene values (Lady Chatterley's Lover); it empowers Congress to say anything passing between States is Federal law, but abuse is to regulate the People themselves.
