Given all that we have seen from Obama so far, it is amusing that so many Democrats and progressives still imagine that he is hiding his little liberal light under a bushel basket.
Elena Kagen is an unknown quantity, perfect for this bearded right winger. I cannot imagine that she harbors any progressive views, otherwise she would never darken his door. But here we go again – Democrats will defend her, she will be confirmed, and the Supreme Court will move even farther to the right.
It’s a brilliant system. Right wingers, no matter how extreme, have easy access to the court with Democrat support. It was not Bush that gave us Alito and Roberts so much as weaselly Democrats, who could not muster any opposition.
However, when it comes to appointment of a progressive voice to counter the extremists of the right who now run the court, the slightest obstacle, the slightest indication that there will be a fight makes them scurry like cock roaches when the light is turned on.
It is no accident. They are not cowards. They are not weak. They are simply not with us. They run for office masquerading as liberals to prevent liberals from holding office.
Elena Kagen, closet liberal. Yeah. Right. I have said on occasion that one reason to vote for Democrats is that they appoint slightly better judges. Kagen may indeed be better than Alito. We don’t know that. All we can do is hope, and that is all we can ever hope to get from Democrats -maybe, just maybe this person harbors some progressive views.
Don’t bet on it.
Piece of Mindful 
Neoliberals like Obama and Kagen are corporate, globalists, and ruling-class minor leaguers breaking into the majors. We rattle on about them because the real generational power players behind the curtain are not shown to us. Not a peep from America’s media sheep.
