Here is an excerpt:
"As for the [Supreme] court's decision [on the constitutionality of the individual mandate of PPACA], it probably won't imbue many people with any more confidence in process. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan—only recently charged with defending the administration's positions in federal courts as solicitor general, working there while the health care law was being written and picking the legal team to defend it—will be rendering her entirely untainted decision on the matter.
Nor, as we learned this week, is it reassuring to find out that while the House was debating passage of ObamaCare, Kagan and well-known legal scholar Laurence Tribe, then in the Justice Department, did a little dialoguing regarding the health care vote, and according to documents obtained by Media Research Center, Kagan wrote: "I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing."
Nothing says impartiality like double exclamation points!!"
