Elena Kagan's got cred, but she's no Middle America
The author and son of the magnificent Great Santini, Pat Conroy, began "The Prince of Tides" in these terms: "My wound is geography. It is my anchor, my port of call." </ P> These words stuck with me and <p> came to mind when the appointment of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United States. </ P> Much has been made a career Kagan and his pioneering career. Despite the absence of any judicial experience, she is the first of her sex in two areas previously dominated by men - the first female dean of Harvard Law School and the first woman U.S.Solicitor General.> </ strong No small achievement. But what we do not <em> all </ em> of what we are. We are also products of the place. When we grew up and how we experienced the physical environment of our training are also part of who we are. </ P <p>> What is the geography of Kagan? What is its anchor, its port of call?> </ Strong coincidence, she shared the same hometown as the two other women on the ground. Assuming that Kagan is confirmed, the three women from New York.Kagan grew up in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the Bronx is Sonia Sotomayor, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg is Brooklyn. </ P <p>> If diversity on the ground is our goal, we may miss one or two regions. Formative Years </ p> A passing spending <p> Hotel Murder "infamous crime-ridden" way to school, as Kagan did - and, say, passing the First Baptist Church of Ballet Class & mdash; are not the same marinade cultural.> </ strong hypothetical is available only for reasons of contrast and metaphor.It seems unlikely that remote for a woman whose life and attended Baptist churches ballet slippers would be on a path to U.S. Supreme Court, but that should not be the case. Women are not a tissue. (As a note, retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor grew up in El Paso, Texas, ranch in Arizona and is a good dancer famous.) </ P> <p> two judges current women and Kagan also attended Ivy League schools, and not that there's anything wrong with that.But a court with mixed genre Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsburg considered a different court because they are women? Either these three represent the ideological purity in a lace bib? The jury is still out. </ P> Obama has clearly expressed his desire to appoint judges who are in contact with "ordinary Americans." He specifically mentioned "empathy" in the choice of Sotomayor. Prior to the appointment of Kimberly Kagan, Obama said he wanted someone with a "keen understanding of the law affects the daily lives of the American people."He wanted a justice who retired as John Paul Stevens," knows that in a democracy, strong vested interests should not be allowed to stifle the voices of ordinary citizens. "</ P> Enter Kagan </ p> While New York city dwellers say their struggle with the ordinary concerns, only in a more densely arranged. But New York, like other urban areas, tends to be more liberal than the rest of vast regions of the country. More than half of the country also happens to be Protestant, but Kagan, the court will have three Jews, six Catholic and not Protestant.Less than a quarter of Americans are Catholic and 1.7 percent are Jewish. </ P> It is not necessary to be a rural backwater Georgia (Clarence Thomas), or the child of immigrants who arrived recently (Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito), to qualify as a justice, if it can help to assert the identity of ordinary people. One could even argue that it is only important that we respect the right to absolute neutrality. </ P> But the president supports the principle of ordinary people, and if the question must be asked: Is Kagan meet the standard?She may have other qualities, including its willingness to invite conservative scholars at Harvard faculty. But a young girl from New York who attended a prep school, Ivy League colleges and law schools - who has banned military recruiters from recruiting office at Harvard and was an advisor to Goldman Sachs - can not be considered as something akin to mainstream America. </ P> Either Obama may want to tweak the story of exploitation - or geography may be liquidated Kagan.
