Your wasting your time. It might as well be signed, sealed and delivered.

[nyffman]

Tom's right. Can't hurt but probably won't help either. I just takes a minute. Like no one here has ever wasted a minute before.

Like no one here has ever wasted a minute before.

We'd all be typing in bold if we were worried about saving time.


... or wait... if we all typed in bold... that wouldn't help would it?

Maybe if we switched to gorilla avatars?

Only takes a minute and I even received a generic response from the Al Franken Staff:

Thank you for submitting your message to my U.S. Senate office. Each week, several thousand Minnesotans send me their thoughts and suggestions on legislation and important issues facing our nation. This impressive volume is a testament to the Minnesotan traditions of grassroots activism and civic participation that distinguish our state. I closely track the concerns that are expressed in your letters and emails, and will answer them as soon as possible.

Sincerely,



Al Franken
United States Senator

Dear Mac,

Thank you for contacting me about the nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to be Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. I appreciate hearing from you on this important nomination.

Solicitor General Kagan's nomination was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 63-37 on August 5, 2010.

Solicitor General Elena Kagan is superbly qualified and is regarded as one of the nation's leading legal minds. Importantly, she is from outside the "judicial monastery," and so will bring a diverse set of experiences to the Supreme Court. Solicitor General Kagan has a keen ability to bring together people from different backgrounds and beliefs. She has also been an unwavering advocate for the rights of all Americans.

Before the Supreme Court hearings, I convened a roundtable of legal experts from throughout Minnesota, and used that discussion to help inform my questions for the Solicitor General. I am particularly concerned with how Supreme Court decisions affect the lives of hard-working Minnesotans.

The Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on Solicitor General Kagan's nomination during the week of June 28. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I had the opportunity during the hearings to question Solicitor General Kagan on her views and judicial philosophy. I asked her questions about companies that force employees into arbitration, media consolidation and the proposed Comcast/NBC Universal merger, the recent Citizens United Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to spend money in elections, and the importance of understanding Congress' intent when interpreting statutes.

Attending confirmation hearings and carefully questioning judicial nominees are among my greatest responsibilities as a United States Senator. I take this role very seriously. After attending the confirmation hearings and carefully assessing Solicitor General Kagan's qualifications and judicial philosophy, I was pleased to support her nomination.

Thank you again for contacting me, and please do not hesitate to do so in the future on this or any other matter of concern to you.

Sincerely,


Al Franken
United States Senator

Bull **** ****.

Thanks for the reply, though, you election stealing assclown.

I know it's a done deal, but what bugs you about this person?

I know it's a done deal, but what bugs you about this person?

A few quick notes from wiki...........
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elena_Kagan

In a 1996 White House document, Kagan grouped the National Rifle Association together with the Ku Klux Klan as "bad guy" organizations.[22]

Nice

In 1996 she wrote an article in the University of Chicago Law Review entitled, "Private Speech, Public Purpose: The Role of Governmental Motive in First Amendment Doctrine." Kagan argued that government has the right, even considering the First Amendment, to restrict free speech, when the government believes the speech is "harmful", as long as the restriction is done with good intentions.[

good intentions?.....WTF kind of criteria is that

In 2001, she was named a full professor and in 2003 was the first woman to be named Dean of the Law School by Harvard University President Lawrence Summers............During her deanship, Kagan upheld a policy a few decades old barring military recruiters from the Office of Career Services, because she felt that the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy discriminated against gays and lesbians. According to Campus Progress,

During her deanship, Kagan upheld a policy a few decades old barring military recruiters from the Office of Career Services, because she felt that the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy discriminated against gays and lesbians. According to Campus Progress,

As dean, Kagan supported a lawsuit intended to overturn the Solomon Amendment so military recruiters might be banned from the grounds of schools like Harvard. When a federal appeals court ruled the Pentagon could not withhold funds, she banned the military from Harvard's campus once again. The case was challenged in the Supreme Court, which ruled the military could indeed require schools to allow recruiters if they wanted to receive federal money. Kagan, though she allowed the military back, simultaneously urged students to demonstrate against Don't Ask, Don't Tell.[34][35]

In October 2003, Kagan transmitted an e-mail to students and faculty deploring that military recruiters had shown up on campus in violation of the school's anti-discrimination policy. It read, "This action causes me deep distress. I abhor the military's discriminatory recruitment policy." She also wrote that it was "a profound wrong—a moral injustice of the first order."[36]

[roadkillbill]

So she's wrong,or just doesn't share your view?

[ttousi]

IMHO..........both

[roadkillbill]
