Our Constitution's Enemy

Does enough common sense remain in the United States Senate Republican delegation to do what is necessary (a filibuster) to thwart the rise of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court? We are not talking courage here on the part of the GOP, merely rejecting a candidate for the court more manifestly unqualified for our highest court than roundly rejected George W. Bush prospect Harriet Miers. At least Miers was not a partisan hack bent on undermining the Constitutional basis of our government by judicial fiat. Kagan has stated arguing before the Supreme Court that the Federal government has the authority to ban pamphlets. This position is a direct assault on the free speech guarantee of the First Amendment of the US Constitution. If pamphlets are subject to such restriction- what about books, newspapers, debate of all sorts on the Internet? As to the right to keep and bear arms as propounded by the Second Amendment, Kagan had the nerve to compare the National Rifle Association, an organization that reverences our Constitution and laws, to the Ku Klux Klan. Obviously, Ms. Kagan has little respect for either of the first two articles of our Bill of Rights. Kagan is an opponent of the freedoms and immunities afforded by Natural Law and codified in the US Constitution that have made us America.
