This will be our second Independence Day under Chairman Maobama and as the Kagan hearings have highlighted our Constitution and our Fundamental rights are under siege by this Socialist government. Under questioning from Senator Tom Coburn Kagan would not even affirm that we have Natural Rights outside of the Constitution, those delineated in the Declaration of Independence. Kagan responded by saying, "To be honest with you, I don't have a view of what are natural rights independent of the Constitution." Coburn pressed, asking Kagan if her response meant "you wouldn't embrace what the Declaration says, that we have certain God-given rights, and that among these are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?" Kagan replied that "my job as a justice is to enforce the Constitution and the laws." She emphasized that she was "not saying that I do not believe there are not rights pre-existing the Constitution and laws." Kagan dodges and weaves on natural rights.
Obviously for her to admit that our rights do not derive from the Constitution and thus from will of men, would be a defeat of the Obama agenda. The goal of he and his merry band of socialists is to subsume our rights to the will of those that govern. A court that views rights not as Natural will have no problem inflicting more rights upon us - like the right to have to buy health insurance or taking away rights that they do not like or that are not popular.
