Eric Holder cannot say radical Islam might be one of the motivations behind people blowing up or wanting to blow up America.
The same Eric Holder, ladies and gentlemen, who can't even bring himself to say the word Muslim.
Or terrorist.
He can't bring himself to say either of those two words.
This is the guy in charge of setting up the CIA's new interrogation unit.
Maybe that's why it hasn't been set up yet.
Because he doesn't want those terms used.
Elena Kagan.
Very interesting out there.
This story in the in the New York Times.
You want to talk to Kagan's family?
Permission denied.
White House traditionally puts a muzzle on their Supreme Court nominees to keep them from saying anything that might jeopardize the confirmation.
But the Obama White House has taken it one step further.
It's limiting, if not blocking, access to Elena Kagan's Familia.
The New York Times received permission on Tuesday from Hunter College Hascral in Manhattan, which is Elena Kagan's alma mater, to observe a constitutional law class taught there by her brother Irving Kagan.
We thought it would be intriguing to watch the give and take between Mr. Kagan, who's known as a passionate and interactive educator, and his students on his first day back after witnessing his sister's nomination in Washington.
Mr. Kagan, who is also a Hunter alumnus, did not have a problem with the idea, a school spokeswoman said, but she added that all media requests now had to be given final approval by the White House.
The times were tentatively set.
There was either an 852 AM class or a 936 a.m. class on Wednesday.
I thought it would have been great, said the spokeswoman for the school, Meredith Halpern.
But when presented with the idea, the White House balked.
Joshua Ernest, a White House spokesman, said that the administration was uncomfortable with the idea at this time.
The uh the White House called Hunter, and Miss Halpern said later Tuesday that it uh could not permit the class observation.
A formal proposal has been submitted to the White House, which the administration requested.
They asked that it outline the intent and the goal of the article in significant detail.
Two days after the article appeared, when contacted again by the same reporter for the Times, sorry, I'm not able to talk to you.
She was asked if the White House had directed her not to talk to the press, said nope, and hung up the phone.
Now, this is kind of curious.
Elena Kagan has a brother that teaches constitutional law in high school.
And the New York Times thought it would be really cool to go in there and see this guy interacting with his class day.
First day back after his sister gets a big nomination.
And if you think back, uh, ladies and gentlemen, the White House made it plain as day that Sonia Sotomayor came from a wonderfully diverse family.
The mother uh place in the Bronx.
I mean, they they they literally walked us through Sotomayor's childhood.
They introduced us to Sotomayor's family members.
But now with Kagan?
None of that.
White House wants none of that.
I just a little curious to me, folks.
Why?
What could possibly go wrong here?
The brother of Elena Kagan teaching social uh uh uh uh teaching uh uh uh constitutional law.
Yeah.
Uh don't get in me on this softball distraction here.
I don't know if he plays softball or not.
What does it matter?
You're not gonna bait me on this, you people.
You can try all you want.
Your host is not gonna be tricked this way.
I'm smarter than that.
But uh what why what could possibly go wrong by having the country C. No, she's she's never been married, never had kids, just like Souter, had never been married, and age 50, was still living with his mother.
All right.
I don't know about the brother.
I don't know a thing about the brother.
We're not going to know anything about the brother because they won't let the New York Times in there now.
To see the brother teach constitutional law or socialism or whatever he teaches.
That's what Kagan is as a socialist.
Her senior thesis is all, I mean, it's passionate about socialism.
Passion.
I mean, this woman is on fire for socialism in her thesis.
Now, another thing here.
Uh sexual orientation.
Really, it doesn't interest me.
I don't, I don't know what the problem is.
Uh I I know that uh the liberals are trying to act like we have a problem with it, but we're not taking the bait.
They're trying to make the big deal out of it.
But I did read her college thesis, and it is clear this babe is hot for socialism.
She is in fact if you don't want to read, it's it we it was it was tough to get it, by the way.
You don't read you don't want to read the whole thing, read the conclusion.
I mean, this, I think, is her one true love is socialism.
Her life partner, her soulmate.
Socialism.
That's my conclusion from having read that she's all about social justice.
Her passion isn't for the law, it's for equality of outcome as defined and determined by central government planners.
And when I say passion, I mean heavy breathing passion.
I mean hot and bothered passion.
Cold, cold sweat kind of passion.
This woman, I mean this is her life partner.
This is where all of her love goes is to socialism.
I don't care if she wants to spend her social time with male socialists or female socialists.
I just know she prefers socialists over free market capitalists.
Which means her political orientation must be explored by the Senate.
And after asking Kagan about her socialist orientation and how it impacts her legal philosophy.
Uh if you read this, it might be a very polite thing to excuse her every hour to go take a cold shower after she's discussing socialism.
You ought to read this, folks.
Now there's also there's a uh there's a there's a paper trail.
Turns out there is a paper trail.
Byron York happened to come up with this notion.
The left in the White House been saying there's no paper trail.
She hasn't really written uh uh uh.
Susan Cooper, spokeswoman for the National Archives and Records Administration.
Uh Kagan, paper trail, we're talking about tens of thousands of pages.
That's a massive job.
Susan Cooper discussing the work of processing papers from Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's two years, 1995 and 1996 in the Clinton White House counsel's office.
During that time, Kagan, like any overworked staff lawyer, handled a wide variety of issues and wrote or contributed to thousands of memos and emails and other documents.
Those papers, boxes, and boxes of them are at the Clinton Presidential Library and Massage Parlor in Little Rock under the supervision of the archives.
As Byron writes here, you probably heard a lot of talk about Kagan not having a paper trail.
It's not true.
In fact, she has a long paper trail.
The only question is whether the senators who vote on her confirmation will be allowed to see it.
There have been already some stories.
Articles like memos reveal Elena Kagan's centrist side based on documents from her White House service.
But those are from 1997 to 1999 on the White House Domestic Policy Council.
Cooper says those papers already been processed by government archivists, and many, uh not necessarily all of them have been posted on the internet.
But what Cooper calls the bulk of the Kagan-related records that we have come from Kagan's time in the council's office in the uh Clinton administration.
They have not yet been processed and are not yet open.
And of course, they're likely to cover issues that would be useful to senators seeking to learn more about her um her legal thinking.
Now, uh we we do know that she believes in the so the First Amendment being regulated by the government.
We have discussed this.
She thinks that free speech needs to be regulated based on its impact.
Yes, based on its impact.
Wesley Prudent today in the Washington Times.
Once upon a time, we could count on lawyers and law school professors to defend the First Amendment, the most important 46 words in the Constitution.
Those 46 words make everything else possible.
Shut up the people, and the government can shut down every other freedom.
The genius of the Founding Fathers was their ability to write the Constitution in plain English that everybody could understand.
Lawyers who can employ entire boring paragraphs to say good morning would inflict damage later.
A good lawyer, even a bad one, can put loopholes in any proposal to wit, Elena Kagan's explanation of the First Amendment.
It's perfectly okay, she wrote in the University of Chicago law review for the government to restrict free speech as long as it means well and calls it something else.
The word restriction sounds bad, like a leather restraint, but Ms. Kagan's redistribution of speech can sound benign like free cheese, and who doesn't like cheese?
She argued that the government can employ Orwellian restrictions on speech if it thinks such speech might harm others.
Either by direct action.
Now that as I said yesterday, this is all I need to know.
I am in the free speech business.
I it's all I don't care about anything else.
I already know that she is a passionate socialist.
Her thesis was a crying, oh my God, what's happening?
Socialism.
She's all worried about the decline of socialism.
And now she's got to be delirious.
It has made one hell of a comeback.
Now it's on display as an utter failure in Europe.
But under this regime, hey, socialism, communism, it's always been the best.
It's just it's never been the right people in charge of it.
But now we're here.
We're the ones you've been waiting for.
We are the right people to make socialism the best thing that there is.
And if that works, we're going to move on down the road to communism, because that's who we are.
Now, from the acknowledgments, this is uh Diana Schneider, the editrix of the Limbaugh Letter, from the acknowledgments in Kagan's senior thesis, finally I'd like to thank my brother Mark, whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political views.
Now, I don't know if the because the brother that's being referred to in the New York Times is named Irving.
Mark Kagan or Mark Irving Kagan.
I don't know if it's the same guy.
If it is this, if if it's the same bro.
No wonder the White House doesn't want the New York Times in there.
The New York Times wouldn't be bothered by the radicalism.
It's by who might read what the New York Times reports about the guy's radicalism.
So he's teaching constitutional law, and we know that that radical liberals and socialists don't like the Constitution as written.
So who knows what he's teaching his students in this hascral class?
But that's her acknowledgement.
Her brother, Mark, whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas.
Quick timeout, your phone calls are coming up.
Plus, audio sound bites, mayor of Los Angeles illegals add to the economic might of Los Angeles, he says.
The space shuttle Atlantis just launched.
It's the last time for Atlantis.
There are only two more shuttle launches to go.
It's a it's a great clear day up at Cape Canaveral.
You know, this is still one of the most exciting sights to see.
and it's 203,000 feet up there, 200, well, 10,000 feet now, and it's still plain as day in the uh in the lens.
I've got a giant lens on this on these uh high definition cameras at uh at NASA.
Uh Snerdley made a mad dash to our northern windows here at the EIB complex, wanting to catch a glimpse of a you should have asked me.
It's the trajectory is taking it north.
If you live in Savannah, you'll be able to see it go by.
Uh but we got too much cloud cover here anyway, but you wouldn't have seen it snerdily because it's going the other way.
You might have caught it just a little bit over the treetops, but uh that would have been it.
Okay, here is the mayor of Los Angeles.
Yesterday in Washington, Cybercast news service correspondent Christopher Nefus interviewing the mayor Antonio Villaragosa.
I know LA passed this measure R during recession.
I I still wanted to ask you about the budget with the with the city having passed this boycott of Arizona.
Do you think that illegal immigration is a contributor to the budget problems in Los Angeles?
There are a lot of benefits to immigration.
More benefits than there are detriments, if you will.
Uh in California, I think there's uh a real sense uh that these immigrants uh provide a great deal to the economic might of the state.
Uh well at the same time, give us an opportunity to take the lead on this issue of really pushing the federal government uh to fix a broken immigration system.
Okay, now we did a little feature on LA the other day about unemployment is what 12% there, higher than the 10% in the country, and higher than the states, even higher than LA's higher than the state of California.
Um the whole green energy thing kind of fell apart before it got started, thankfully it'd have been even worse.
And now uh a lot of benefits here.
The uh illegals are adding to the economic might of Los Angeles.
Nefus then says, well, so so is cracking down on illegal immigration not part of the budget solution, that's a separate issue.
Well, as you know, uh cities and states uh don't have uh the authority to enforce our immigration laws under our constitution.
Uh that's a federal responsibility.
That's why uh the Arizona law uh uh is uh unconstitutional uh and frankly the wrong way to go.
Well, uh it's not the wrong way to go because the federal government's making no effort to protect the borders.
If you don't protect your border, then you don't have a nation.
So anyway, uh I just found it interesting that uh uh of all the things to credit, when when there's no booming LA economy anyway, of all things to credit, illegal immigrants are adding to the economic might of Los Angeles.
Here's uh Warner in uh Halderborough, Maine.
We go back to the phones.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Great to have you here.
Thank you, sir.
Uh I thought I'd like to share with you what I'd love to see for a Republican response to this oil spill, and that would be this to point out that had this been an American company working on American soil, history would suggest that the likelihood of a spill this like this would would be diminished.
And if it did happen, an American company would be on the same page as the EPA with cleanup protocols and containment.
Therefore, America should be producing all of its own oil at a minimum, and the best case scenario is we should be the world's biggest producer of oil because who better to prevent ecological damage?
Now, I understand what you're getting at here, but I need to ask you a question.
Okay.
Why do you say, or why are you assuming that this would not have happened if an American company had leased the rig?
BP doesn't own the rig.
Transocean owns the rig.
BP owns it or leases it.
Halliburton, an American company, was involved in constructing parts of it.
So how would this have been any different if an American company owned or leased the rig?
Well, we've been drilling for oil in Texas for close to a hundred years, and I don't ever recall uh well, I don't recall Texas being a being a wasteland.
Uh the only oil spill that I can remember in my history uh was the Exxon Valdez, and that was because somebody ran aground with a tanker, but it wasn't an oil rig that uh that uh no, but it was a it was a drunk American.
Right.
Right.
It was one individual driving a big bus.
But uh I just think that uh Americans in general, I trust them more to do a technical job than anybody.
Okay, then that's that's that's American exceptionalism.
Right.
Now that's I knew that's what you were talking about.
So but you you put this in the context of what the Republicans ought to be doing here.
Uh I think if if the Republicans want to enter this fray, and uh I'd frankly be more interested in hearing what Chris Christie says about it than uh than a lot of other Republicans, but if they want to enter the fray, it should not be to complain about British petroleum uh and and turn this into a you know American company would have fixed this, it wouldn't even have happened with an American.
What we need to talk about here is uh the fact that the administration, the regime is using this as an attempt to advance their agenda of anti-oil, anti-drilling, anti-progress, anti-growth.
And they're taking advantage of this accident to suggest that this is what always has, and that they are trashing capitalism at the same time.
So the Republicans really need to be defending capitalism, drilling for oil, uh domestic oil, energy independence, and so forth.
It's a golden opportunity here, as there is on every issue for them to distinguish themselves.
Antonio Villarigosa, mayor of Los Angeles, illegal immigrants contribute to the mighty LA economy, which leads the nation in layoffs.
We had the uh story yesterday.
Why not, if this is true, uh the mayor of Los, who I've met, by the way, he was very, very nice to me.
I've told you people the story.
It was Clinton's wingman one night at the Kobe Club in New York.
That's exactly I met Clinton and Via Rigosa this and Braun Burkle all at the same time.
I was in there having dinner with a friend, female friend, and I uh we're sitting in a section of the restaurant that you can see this booth from the minute you walk in the place.
It faces the front door.
But I'm not looking at the you know, I don't make eye contact with people in restaurants.
I'm I'm busy chatting, and I sense this presence standing at a table.
I look up as Bill Clinton standing there.
It's about 9 30 at night.
And uh, hey, hey, hey, Limbaugh, you're looking pretty good.
You look in pretty good shape.
And I told him, you know, Mr. President, nice nice to meet you, shook hands.
I said, I know a couple friends of yours down here in Palm Beach.
Yeah, yeah, they're great people, great people.
And and uh then he goes back to his table.
And shortly here comes the mayor of Los Angeles to the table, Antonio Villaragosa.
And I didn't recognize him at first.
I thought, who's this?
He came over to my side of the booth, which distracted my attention to the right, and I'm looking at him, he said, he started telling me how much he admires me.
He just wanted to come up, he said, the president told me you were here, and I had to come over and say hi.
You are I I listened to you as often as I can.
I really admire, you know, and I'm I'm standing up shaking his hand, I'm thanking him very much.
We're having a nice conversation.
I looked to the left, and guess who's returned to the table chatting up my friend?
That's right, Limbaugh.
I said back I bear Rigosa over there to distract you, and it worked.
He came back a third time.
And then they left.
Uh, and that read Ron Burkle was uh with them when they left the last time.
So uh I've met VR Rigosa.
I just have the idea for him.
Uh if the illegals are contributing so wonderfully to the mighty Los Angeles economy, why doesn't he ask Arizona to send the illegals there to Los Angeles and kill a couple of birds with uh one stone, make the Arizona law not even necessary.
Well, I mean, that's the logical conclusion of this.
I mean, if something's really working, let's do more of it.
Radon, right on, right on.
Commencement activities have taken place at Hillsdale College.
The institution for higher learning we often reference here on the EIB network.
Hillsdale's commencement was last Saturday on Mother's Day weekend.
The graduating class this year was an exclusive group.
There were 342 students of that group, nine of them are headed to Marine Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Virginia, which keeps the proud Hillsdale College tradition alive.
Um, as well as this.
Others are headed for similar programs with other military branches too.
And within the classes of undergraduates at Hillsdale, there are students enlisted in the military and young veterans who have served us in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Now, I mentioned all of this to make a point.
Hillsdale has a long tradition of producing citizens who serve our country through military service, and each of these students do so without taking a penny from the government, because they support and buy into the premise that Hillsdale is to be free from government control.
Hillsdale College works hard to raise scholarship money for these patriotic students, and they welcome your help as well.
Now, this this place is a marvelous college.
It's remarkable in a number of ways.
One of them is because they educate their students with a sense of patriotism and an understanding of what it means to be a good citizen of the United States.
They don't teach being embarrassed of it.
They don't teach how to be defensive.
They teach how to be proud.
And they accomplish the same result with a publication they have called Imprimus.
It's a monthly digest of great conservative speeches.
Do you know that Imprimus is delivered to um about 1.8 million people every month free?
It's one very good way of getting you connected with Hillsdale College and learning more about it.
Uh and those of you who have up-and-coming college students might want to look into getting them to Hillsdale.
It's they won't be educated any better anywhere else.
And you won't have to be worried about if they're being brainwashed or not.
Go to rush for Hillsdale.com and sign up to receive Imprimus.
That's Rush4Hillsdale.com, or you can call 1866 Hillsdale.
1866 Hillsdale.
It is free and there are no strings attached to it.
Audio soundbite Sarah Palin this morning in Washington, D.C. at the Susan B. Anthony list.
Celebration of life breakfast.
We won't forget those who promised to hold firm against government funding of abortion, but caved at the last minute in exchange for a non-binding executive order promised by the most pro-abortion president to ever occupy the White House.
We will not forget.
We won't forget, and come November, our new pro-life pro-woman majority will actually be pro-life when it counts when those votes are needed.
Radon, right on, right on.
Now, this next soundbite really that well, that one did too.
That soundbite irritated the Washington Post.
They had a guy publish a story, oomped.
And uh, and then you could read the end of his city.
In fact, the new health care bill does not provide funding for abortion, uh, which it most certainly does.
But here's the next by this really, this really ticked off the state-controlled media.
I always think of the mama grizzly bears that rise up on their hind legs when somebody's coming to um attack their cubs to do something adverse toward their cubs.
No, the mama grizzlies, they rear up, and you know, if you thought pit bulls were tough, well, you don't want to mess with the mama grizzlies, and I think there are a whole lot of those in this room.
This year, look out, Washington, because there's a whole stampede of pink elephants crossing the line in the ETA stampeding through the ETA is November 2nd, 2010.
So there's Sarah Palin, Mama Grizzly.
She's praising conservative women who are going to take the country back.
Susan B. Anthony list is a Uh very August uh pro-life uh group in Washington, D.C. Uh there's this, then I'm gonna go to uh audio sound bite number twenty-seven, the forehead was on CNN's John King USA show last night.
And uh King said General Stanley McCristol.
Did you know what's folks?
It's fascinating.
Afghanistan is costing more per month than Iraq did.
You know that?
You didn't know that, did you?
Because the drive-by's are not reporting it.
Afghanistan is costing more than Iraq did.
And remember, all that talk of we're gonna get out of there.
Have national health care, all that kind of thing.
So John King said to the forehead, General McChrystal says nobody's winning.
It's progress.
To a Democrat Party where you have an intensity gap politically, this is a big policy question, but in a political year, how is that message?
Nobody's winning, and it's costing more than Iraq.
How's that gonna sell?
I talked to uh Tommy Sauers, young Army major now out of the uh Army, he was a he's a ranger, Green Break, really heroic young man.
He's running for Congress in Cape Toronto, Rush Limbaugh's old district.
Even there, he's telling me he's hearing more and more concerns.
People are very nervous about Afghanistan more than Iraq now, because it looks like uh Afghanistan were plussing up the troops there.
Yeah.
Uh I know my old district is though I used to hold it, you know, as though I used to represent before I went national, uh, my old district.
Now the Congresswoman who currently holds the seat's Joanne Emerson, and you note the forehead said even there, Rush Limbaugh's old district, even there, they're starting to get upset here about what's going on.
You dare.
Uh just had to let you hear that.
Who's next?
Hi uh high high mountains, New Mexico.
Mick, great to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Hey, Rush.
It's Mike from the High Mountains of New Mexico.
15 handicapped, second-time daddos there, Rush.
Um great to have you here.
Thank you very much.
I'm under assault.
I think uh Carrie and Leverman's bill is gonna stick uh a knife right in my heart as a small business trucker.
Uh you know, the cap and tax is gonna necessarily skyrocket my diesel fuel cost.
That in effect is the lifeblood that runs this country.
80% of all all our goods and services that come on the the shelves over there are brought there by truckers.
And about eighty percent of those truckers are are small independents like me.
Right.
Two to five trucks, small, small business.
I'm under assault rush, and I don't know what to do.
I've you know, I call my congressmen, I call my senators, and uh this cap in tax is gonna ruin me.
And and in addition, they've just opened up the Mexican pilot program uh to bring a Mexican trucks back across the border.
They don't run under the same hours we do.
They don't have documentation for uh over hours of service or drug testing or any of the other things.
They're gonna infiltrate the country with this cheap uh Mexican truck, and they'll be running Mexican fuel, too, also that's not the ultra-low that they dictate.
Wait a second.
Wait, wait, wait a second here now, Mike.
Are you saying that the Mexican trucks will not be subject to cap and trap?
No, absolutely.
They'll be able to buy their diesel down south over there for you know pennies on the dollar.
Well, we're forced to buy it at.
Well, but they're gonna have to buy some here.
They're not gonna be able to make round trips depending on how deep in the country they go.
Oh, yeah, they can run a round trip 1,500 miles on 300 gallons.
They go uh turn right back around and go right back.
That's about as much mileage as I get in my car.
Yeah, well, you know, a uh seven to eight miles to the gallon is the best that diesel engines do these days, Rush.
Yeah.
Well, mine isn't diesel.
Yeah.
Well, diesel is the lifeblood that runs the country over there, and they're gonna they're gonna spike it with cap and tax.
Look, I know that's their objective.
I want to hold out a little hope here for you, Mike.
They I don't think they're gonna get anything done before the election.
They're gonna talk about getting a lot done.
They're gonna talk about getting uh comprehensive immigration reform because they think talking about it will get them the Hispanic vote.
They're going to talk about cap and trade.
Remember, Obama has has broomed everything out of the way to get immigration to the front of the line, and Dingy Harry uh is is leading that charge because Dingy Harry needs the Hispanic vote to wake up if he has a chance to be re-elected in Nevada in November.
So they're gonna talk cap and trap, and they're gonna they're gonna make it sound like uh it's it's imminent, but they're not gonna get it done before November, and they're not going to have these large governing majorities in the House or the Senate in November.
So it's going to be tougher for them to get it.
That's that's if they could do it before November, they would.
Make no mistake about it.
But hey, Rush, you know what they've done in Oklahoma with uh uh under the guys nobody knows.
In Oklahoma, they passed a law that uh every law enforcement officer there is I certified.
And then they passed uh a law over there where they had to have card check for all their their employees, and miraculously over the course of about six months, 45,000 uh illegal aliens left uh Oklahoma.
It's unbelievable.
Uh where'd they go?
Well, they went to sanctuary states like my high mouths of New Mexico.
They're going to Arizona, they're going to Texas, places where they uh where they aren't subject to those things.
But they're not going to Arizona.
They're leaving Arizona too.
Well, yeah, because when they can't find a job, they're gonna leave, and you know that that brings another point.
All the jobs that Americans won't do, you know, if all of the illegals left those jobs over there are unemployment, right?
But necessarily uh drop uh right away over there with with all of the uh the young people uh coming into the workforce that don't go to college, where were those jobs?
Those jobs are in the world.
Well, those no, no, no.
I I understand what you're saying.
I really do, but we're just gonna extend unemployment.
Those those kids that you're talking about are actually holding out for jobs at Goldman Sachs.
And welcome back to Open Line Friday.
Did you see Obama in in Buffalo yesterday went and had uh ten, a plate full of deep-fried buffalo wings at a place called Duff's Famous Wings.
Now, meanwhile, his wife is out there on this healthy food kick, uh, anti-child obesity, and this guy, I think half the reason leaves the White House.
He has to eat what he wants to eat.
I think this guy is so nagged about what he eats, that's why he leaves, because every time he leaves, he goes to a burger joint or a buffalo wings joint, uh, or or some kind of, you know, real food.
He's probably eating watercress vinaigrette salads in the White House, and who knows what the hell else from the garden.
Uh I just I just think it's hilarious.
Look at this.
This is from thehill.com, one of the nation's most influential labor groups, and a civil rights organization today urged Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, big sis, to end programs with Arizona law enforcement agencies over the state's immigration law, the AFLCIO, and the leadership conference wrote a letter to Napolitano.
They said, unless Department of Homeland Security terminates a program agreements in Arizona, the federal government will be complicit in the racial profiling that lies at the heart of the Arizona law.
The FLCIO hasn't read the law either, but look at their priorities here.
Wants the government to stop working with Arizona State Cops.
From the Washington Post.
So this is it.
This is Ruth Marcus.
Elena Kagan.
The first lines of Ruth's column, she's not gay, okay?
She's a smart woman with fewer choices.
The point of Ruth Marcus's column is Kagan is not gay.
The reason she's not married is she's too smart for a man to want to marry her.
Why didn't I think of that?
