Kagan nomination hearings in full swing

Schlafly on Kagan here. As a reminder to one and all, the Kagan nomination hearings in the Senate are in full swing. MRAs/FRAs may have reason to be concerned. She is by some accounts a committed feminist and the article implies she admires a judge who felt it was a judge's role to make law from the bench. I will refer you to the Senate Judiciary Committee web site for contact information should you have a desire to voice any concerns you may have. Excerpt:

'When Kagan was dean of Harvard Law School, she presented a guest speaker who is known as the most activist judge in the world: Judge Aharon Barak, formerly president of the Israeli Supreme Court.

The polar opposite of the U.S. Constitution, which states that "all legislative powers" are vested in the elected legislative body, Barak has written that a judge should "make" and "create" law, assume "a role in the legislative process" and give statutes "new meaning that suits new social needs."

Barak wrote that a judge "is subject to no authority" except himself, and he "must sometimes depart the confines of his legal system and channel into it fundamental values not yet found in it." Channel? Does he mean he channels in a trance, as Hillary Clinton supposedly channeled discourse with the long-deceased Eleanor Roosevelt?
...
Kagan showed her feminist extremism when she served as the lead White House strategist advising President Clinton to veto the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. Ten years later, substantially the same act was passed by Congress, signed by President Bush and upheld by the Supreme Court.'

Most women in powerful positions are feminists, or at least have pro-feminist sympathies. Powerful men, for the most part, have to be traditional. Women, non-traditional.

The problem as I see it is that men in power make men pay for women. Women in power simply make men pay.
