think that Greenwald will attack her if she votes against Citizen United at some point?

All we need is one more justice for the "liberal bloc."

DOUCHEWALD!!!!! GarroHorus Jul 2012 #1

How about an anti-Obama ASSHOLE who does nothing but anti-Obama screeds like Limbaugh? GarroHorus Jul 2012 #12

Greenwald is on the President's side regarding Medicaid expansion. Elena Kagan is not. smokey nj Jul 2012 #13

You didn't even read the article, or else you would not have revealed your pavlovian vitriol stockholmer Jul 2012 #20

"pavlovian vitriol" = short, to the point, and exactly right AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #54

I think you're lost. Greenwald was defending the President's HC policy sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #100

how about you read an article before knee-jerking? stockholmer Jul 2012 #15

I was replying to the posting of "DOUCHEWALD" in reference to Glenn Greenwald NOT to the article TownDrunk2 Jul 2012 #19

so was I. Just because a person is a leftist-progressive and a fierce champion of civil stockholmer Jul 2012 #23

You oppose the President's expansion of Medicaid also then? sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #101

I support the intent, but the bill, I fear is going to backfire on certain parts and be used as an stockholmer Jul 2012 #104

Oops, my apologies, my comment was intended for sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #105

Translation: "I resorted to an ad-hominem attack..." Marzupialis Jul 2012 #86

try reading the article first before droning on with your talking point (I'm being generous with the stockholmer Jul 2012 #17

Well, that's persuasive. /nt yardwork Jul 2012 #21

SO you disagree with Greenwald that the Medicaid expansion should NOT have been struck down? MNBrewer Jul 2012 #63

I take it you oppose the Medicaid expansion and agree with the five Right Wing sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #99

Kagan's decision to side with the Wingers did great harm to the goal of insuring more people Bluenorthwest Jul 2012 #2

How? They upheld the law and have no power to change it. vaberella Jul 2012 #4

Huh? They changed the law by accepting parts and voting down parts. The part discussed by the OP rhett o rick Jul 2012 #8

+1 nashville_brook Jul 2012 #68

They didn't strike it down. They had a dissenting opinion. vaberella Jul 2012 #3

The court struck down the penalty on the states that do not implement the Medicaid expansion. Mass Jul 2012 #5

That's not true. If they refuse they lose the additional funding ACA would provide. Sirveri Jul 2012 #96

The medicaid expansion was made optional without penalty. This time Greewald rateyes Jul 2012 #16

There was more than one law contained in this ruling. The justices struck down the Medicaid rule. yardwork Jul 2012 #22

You're making some really uninformed comments in this thread. girl gone mad Jul 2012 #81

I've been waiting to see if Greenwald would comment on the ACA ruling... SidDithers Jul 2012 #6

So you approve of Justice Kagen's vote? nm rhett o rick Jul 2012 #7

He's going after Kagan the way teabaggers go after Roberts GarroHorus Jul 2012 #9

So was Sotomayor Oilwellian Jul 2012 #11

The point of his column is that Kagan sided with the right wing justices to remove Medicaid yardwork Jul 2012 #25

another heaven05 Jul 2012 #49

Greenwald's own words shows he referred to both Kagan's and Breyer's votes on the Medicaid issue. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #40

We get it, you want Greenwald to be a cheerleader, not a critic. Vattel Jul 2012 #44

Are you saying Americans should not have access to information that is of the utmost sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #103

How would Greenwald feel if one of the liberal justices spouse received money for supporting ACA kemah Jul 2012 #14

Obama appointed Kagan because she was a reliable corporate stooge brentspeak Jul 2012 #18

big thumbs up stockholmer Jul 2012 #24

You got that right. Kagan is another Democratic Whizzer White byeya Jul 2012 #27

You know ProSense Jul 2012 #28

She did not vote to uphold it. That is the point. former9thward Jul 2012 #79

No ProSense Jul 2012 #90

Only two Justices voted to uphold the entire law. former9thward Jul 2012 #93

So ProSense Jul 2012 #94

You use the term "final decision" as if that overruled everything else. former9thward Jul 2012 #97

Exactly. Thanks. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #35

thanks for posting this -- good reminder! nashville_brook Jul 2012 #70

Th claim that Miers was more qualified than Kagan may be the stupidest thing I've ever seen here. bornskeptic Jul 2012 #80

No... SidDithers Jul 2012 #30

And to some, they're to be dismissed out of hand with a shout of "DOUCEHWALD". Marr Jul 2012 #33

I dismiss anything Douchewald writes out of hand GarroHorus Jul 2012 #34

Yes, I know-- you make a wonderful argument. Marr Jul 2012 #37

And I won't read the piece. Douchewald is no different from Limbaugh. He is an enemy. n/t GarroHorus Jul 2012 #39

Which makes your posts, on whatever Greenwald is writing about, completely without merit. Demit Jul 2012 #60

I'm sick of making arguments about Douchewald, Uygur, Hamsher, and other idiots on the left. GarroHorus Jul 2012 #72

Absolutely. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #50

I agree!!!!! Vattel Jul 2012 #46

And yet it's constitutional to offer people a choice that isn't really a choice at all? girl gone mad Jul 2012 #82

The ruling in question, Medicaid expansion, had nothing to do with corporations SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2012 #88

Your condescension is misplaced and reflects poorly on you - just so you know, nt inna Jul 2012 #98

Did you know that the "right-wing" ACLU has the same position as Greenwald? AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #32

Yes, and ProSense Jul 2012 #36

If you need an explanation, it is commonly understood that the ACLU is about as far left as any AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #47

So ProSense Jul 2012 #53

No. Try to be logical. My words speak for themselves. They mean exactly what they say. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #57
