"I take it as a given that we live in a society marred by racial and gender inequality, that certain forms of speech perpetuate and promote this inequality, and that the uncoerced disappearance of such speech would be cause for great elation."
Kagan's name was also on a brief, United States V. Stevens, dug up by the Washington Examiner, stating: "Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs."

Example - AIG and the 2 brokers. Taxpayers paid the fine to African Americans. No one knows if non-African Americans were charged the same high rates. It's the new justice based on statistics.
"Lies, Damn Lies, & Statistics"
So, would Kagan believe that everyone is a racist? Some, because of their features should get a hand up? Ignoring all those without the feature that are similarly situated?
Why isn't government promoting equal opportunity for every?
At some point, taxation becomes theft. The lazy, greedy, and political terrorists, take the charity that should go to the needy.
For some reason, Obamacrats don't distinguish the needy from the others with their hands out.
I don't think anyone in Washington makes good decisions about need.
It's about greed for Wall Street, politicians, and special interest. Just raise taxes on the working folks.
Why doesn't every American have the right to keep the fruit of their labor? Why should anyone, or any government, or international body, like the UN or WHO, take what they didn't earn and squander it?
