Elena Kagan's Colors

Want to know more about Elena Kagan's political positions?  Curious to know more about her thought process?  Her senior thesis at Princeton is available for perusal.

I think this says it all:
“Through its own internal feuding, then, the SP exhausted itself. forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. The story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism's decline, still wish to change America. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight one's fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe. Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies. In unity lies their only hope.”

Arizona Immigration Bill

If we're going to debate, defend, or decry it, we should at least know what's in it.  Here's the Arizona Immigration Bill.  (Thanks to Reaganite Republican for pointing it out.)

I just read the bill.  As I see it, Arizona is taking steps to enforce federal law by strengthening its state laws.  They are a state in a republic and have every right to do so.  I don't see elements within the law that are a slippery slope to other laws or that this law lends itself to civil rights violations any more than any other law.

What do you think?
