But no worries. Such an argument is unlikely to impress Supreme Court justice Elena Kagan, who as Solicitor General assigned the man making this argument, acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, to the task of defending it.
Conflicts of interest only apply to conservative justices. Liberal justices, by virtue of the liberality, are as a biological fact free from such taint.
No, really. There have been scientific studies that say so!

For all practical purposes, it’s a consensus, is what I heard. So…there ya go.
Make less money?
Isn’t that what they all want for us, to live more modestly?
For us, I mean. Not for them. Definitely not for them.
Jeff, please. I really didn’t need for Justice Kagan’s name and the word “taint” to appear in the same post.
Kagan’s no problem, no conflict of interest, nothing to see here, move along…
But that non-punumbra-seein’, Uncle Tom, Wingnut Thomas!?!? HE MUST RECUSE HIMSELF IMMEDIATELY!11!1!

The secret to freedom: quit your job and go on the dole!
If we all go on the dole, where will they get the money to pay us?
Print it. Duh!
You know, this whole scenario is enough to make my blood boil. This supremely arrogant little prick, Obama, listens neither to the courts nor the congress. And says “Fuck the founders and the constitution – and fuck congress and the courts, too!” – every chance he gets.
His answer to the courts and to congress? “FUCK YOU! I am the supreme Imam and shut the fuck up! I WILL DO WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE DOING!”
He is a piece of offal that must be flushed down the toilet of history. If the Dems steal another election, I hate to imagine the hell-storm that will follow. We are all being patient, waiting for judgement day in 2012, just like the constitution says. But if these Marxist assholes manage to steal the election, all those guns quietly locked in the safe will come out – and Obama doesn’t have a chance in hell of using the armed forces to back up his socialist bullshit, because most servicemen HATE his Marxist guts.
But. He has the new brownshirts (TSA -remember his promise of a “Civilan Defense Force”?) and the SEIU, but has no idea of the juggernaut waiting for “His Highness” to try and pull a Chavez. Which wouldn’t surprise me in the least. In fact, I will be surprised if he DOESN’T try to pull some kind of hocus-pocus bullshit. Why? Because nobody has even attempted to seriously challenge his over-the-top dictatorial bullshit yet. Our representatives just sit back and wonder why their assholes are so sore.
This ain’t Venezuela, fucktards. Your Marxist utopian fantasies are trumped by history and reality, and by the number of people who understand just how historically illiterate the Obamaites are. Get in America’s face, and you will LOSE. Don’t make the mistake of thinking Americans are pussies. Al-Qeda did that, and got their asses handed to them on a soggy hot dog bun. Fucktards will get the same if they think they can steamroll America. IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!.
How can our representatives let this man wipe his anal pore on their noses? What the Fudge is going on?
Obama violates the constitution daily, and our representatives just bend over and spread their butt cheeks, wider every day. Obama should be in jail for the crap he is pulling. He is a traitor to our constitution (unless you think the constitution is a piece of used toilet paper, which Obama does), and in history, he will be known as the lying little cunt-fart that he is.
Sorry, LightGivers. Wrong answer for Americans. Your pensions are no good when AMERICA decides that you are good enough meat to be put in a Taco Bell wrapper..
WOW! That was, like, a really good purge! I feel much better now…
Thanks for PW, Jeff. When my ex-wife dies, I will send you scads of money that I now have to give to her…
As of right now, the state is trying to take $6 more than I make (before taxes) from my paycheck. AND IT SHOULD BE YOUR MONEY!
Truly, thank you.
