Right-Wing Youth Group Rallying Against Kagan Today

Our generation cannot afford to be denied job opportunities and the ability to patriotically serve our country because Kagan poorly judged the value of military service....

I'd like to know how many of their members have enlisted.

Such a tiny group of people will receive an absurd amount of attention from the MSM. It is almost a guarantee that video of the group will show up on the Sunday talk shows. Most likely with David Gregory.

(A bit OT, but only place to post)

“Telltale Signs of a Political Agenda”

The Roberts Court:

At the Kagan hearings, I think Whitehouse, Franken and other senators, including Specter, were building a case to re-visit Citizens United (or impeach Roberts-?). Two basic themes were developed in their remarks: a) "results oriented" decisions (conservative activism); and b) principles of our legal system were violated. In much of his questioning, Whitehouse talked about “telltale signs of a political agenda.”

1. The Highest Court has no check on itself. It therefore has a responsibility of restraint.

2. In recent cases the Roberts Court has advanced theories of precedent that have toppled prior or longstanding precedent, e.g., Citizens and McCanin-Feingold.

3. In Citizens United, they went so far as to overrule Congress’ Findings of Fact that corporate funding of elections can lead to, at the least, the appearance of corruption.

4. Instead of deferring to Congress, they have been “ignoring Congress’ intent - re-writing laws.

5. In Citizens United, the Court expanded the scope of the question before it. Supreme Court cases are supposed to be decided in their narrowest scope.

6. In Exxon Valdez, they overturned the jury award to favor corporate interests on the grounds that financial “predictability” for corporations is more important justice “for the people.”

7. Many important recent cases have been decided by a 5-4 conservative majority, therefore smelling of political ideology.

8. Roberts misled Congress by making rulings that repudiated everything he testified to at his confirmation hearings.

Impeachment - ?
“A high crime is one which seeks the overthrow of the country, which gives aid or comfort to its enemies, or which injures the country to the profit of an individual or group. In democracies and similar societies it also includes crimes which attempt to alter the outcome of elections.”

In other words, decisions that intentionally favor corporations over people.

So is Kagen also stopping them from walking to the local recruitment office and enlisting as well? If not, then I don't see what the problem is.

I was watching the “Military Channel” last night and I will dog gone, Germany, from about 1935 and their defeat in 1945, had a youth group. I guess it is true; there is nothing new under the sun. Well under a tea baggie sun any way

Mm-hmm. Glee Club rejects.

Don't ever fret that these nerds represent anything other than whom you see there. I went to high school and college in the 1960's, and there was always a tiny contigent of "Hitler Youth" (as we fondly dismissed them). We paid less attention to them and their "ideas" then, than the media is apparently doing, now.

(And I totally co-sign the idea that these youthful bastions of political certitude need to go find their campus recruiters, stat.)

It's summer in DC. Granted it finally cooled down a bit, but why the scarves and gloves?

Will they be issued the correct color shirts?

Probably students from Libertarian University.

that crowd looks awfully white.... oops, I forgot, it's a right-wing crowd...
