NRA Produces Video Ad To Oppose Kagan Nomination, BUT………
July 9, 2010
The following is a video that the National Rifle Association will be spreading around in opposition to the confirmation of Elana Kagan to the United States Supreme Court.
While I am delighted the NRA has taken a position to contradict Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court, the NRA is stating that the Senate shouldn’t be fooled again like we were with Sonia Sotomayor. Not all of us were fooled.
Only the blind were fooled and every member of the Senate that voted for Sotomayor was fooled, duped or they were merely playing politics. Certainly the NRA has been around the block a time or two, they should have people on board now that understand that for proper vetting, one’s track record needs to be examined, not simply what they spew out during confirmation hearings. My God, did nobody learn anything from the Presidential elections of 2008 when people were only interested in hearing what Obama had to say in the immediate, refusing to look into his real past?
Sotomayor was on record as opposing a Federal protection of Second Amendment rights stating that the states themselves can make up whatever they wish for gun laws. And some were fooled because of what she said during the hearings?
There are plenty of actions, statements and non-actions Kagan has taken that only an idiot could not see as in opposition to an individual’s fundamental right to keep and bear arms. All it requires is a little looking around.
The NRA makes reference to the fact that Kagan, as U.S. Solicitor General under President Obama, opted not to file a brief in reference to McDonald v. Chicago. Some thought that a bit strange and at the time understandably so but since Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court we now know why. He didn’t want her having a record in opposition to gun rights. Obama would rather lie, cheat and steal and get another Sotomayor on the Supreme Court and get our Constitutional rights stripped that way.
If enough of us take the NRA’s advice from the video and contact our Representatives, we can make sure this person never serves as a judge……ever.
