cavanami Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Today's awkward photo-op: Kagan admires senator's 'gorgeous' rifle Let's see how she votes on guns when/if she gets appointed to the Supreme Court. Whatever...we really do NOT need another JEW on the US Supreme Court, IMO!!! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100513/ts_ynews/ynews_ts2040 One of the most curious and awkward traditions of Capitol Hill is the practice of shepherding a Supreme Court nominee to the offices of senators who will eventually vote on his or her confirmation. The visits almost always produce some discomfiting photo-ops, and Elena Kagan's gantlet has been no exception. On Wednesday, for instance, Kagan met with Senate Judiciary Committee veteran Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). Their discussion opened by exchanging pleasantries. "It's a beautiful office," Kagan told Hatch, as they sat before dozens of photographers clamoring for the perfect shot. "Yeah, well, there's some nice stuff here," Hatch allowed. And that's when it got weird. "You're going to get mad," Hatch said, motioning above the reporters, where a gun hung on the wall. "Man of the Year from the National Rifle Association," the senator explained. "It's a piece of art, really." Kagan, an amused look on her face, nodded. "It's beautiful," she said, staring at the gun. "It's a handmade flintlock, and it's beautiful," Hatch said. "It's gorgeous," Kagan replied, as the press was hustled out of the room. You can watch the exchange here (video courtesy of ABC News):...

Julian2 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I don't see how admiring an antique flintlock is any way connected to stopping your redneck neighbour from leaving his fully automatic SLR lying around the house for the kids to play with.

LizardKing Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 She has not shown any excess love for Israel. You have no basis for anything you claim. You are just out of line here IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
