sethrak::sigh:: Going to have to finally block my godmother's email.
Going through the backlog of email from the last month, I stumbled across one of her famous conservative email forwards. This one's about Snopes allegedly lying about the veracity of a World Net Daily article claiming Obama appointed Justice Kagan because he owed her a favor for defending him when she was Solicitor General and he was facing legal challenges from birthers.
Look. If you're going to email me conservative rants? Get the facts right, and get your debunking of a conservative article's debunking right.
Or at least display some reading comprehension.

“…. In our Search for the truth...
610x.jpg …..department, we find what I have suspected on many occasions. I went to Snopes to check this out and they said it was false and there were no such dockets so I ‘Googled’ the Supreme Court, typed in ‘Obama-Kagan,’ and guess what? Yep you got it. Snopes lied. Everyone of those dockets are there.
So Here is what I wrote Snopes:
Referencing the article about Elena Kagan and Barak Obama dockets: The information you have posted stating that there were no such cases as claimed and the examples you gave are blatantly false. I went directly to the Supreme Court’s website, typed in Obama Kagan and immediately came up with all of the dockets that the article made reference to . I have long suspected that you really slant things but this was really shocking.
Thank You, I hope you will be much more truthful in the future.

That being said, I’ll bet you didn't know this.
Kagan was representing Obama in all the petitions to prove his citizenship. Now she may help rule on them.
Folks, this is really ugly.
Chicago Politics; and the beat goes on and on and on...
Once again the US Senate sold us out!
Well, someone figured out why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court.... Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket and search for Obama.
She was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship. He owed her big time. All of the requests were denied of course. They were never heard. It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it? The American people mean nothing any longer. It's all about payback time for those who compromised themselves to elect someone that really has no true right to even be there.
Here are some websites of the Supreme Court Docket:
You can look up some of these hearings and guess what?? Elana Kagan is the attorney representing Obama!!!
Check out these examples:

As stated in the cut text all the referred-to cases state is that Kagan was the Solicitor General assigned to those cases. Which was her job as SG. Further, the snopes article does NOT state there are no such dockets. Snopes does, however, point out that the dockets in question are not related to elegibility/birther cases, and many of them were filed under previous administrations, and simply rolled over to the next one because they weren't completed yet.
Conservatism is ok. Blind following of nonsense that gets forwarded to you from like-minded individuals, without taking a look for yourself? Not ok. Regardless of your politics.
