Completely different from Thomas.<br /> <br /> Liberals want Thomas off the case because his wife, not Thomas himself, has lobbied on behalf of insurance companies. Would liberals be asking a female justice to recuse herself because of her husband's actions? What if it was Hillary Clinton and Bill was a health industry lobbyist? Nobody would be calling for her to be off the case.<br /> <br /> <strong>Summary: </strong>Kagan should not be involved in the decision because of her own actions, she already has an opinion.

And it's not just the 1% that are paying for their encampment<wbr>­s, it's every taxpayer. When city budgets are already stretched thin, why do these hippies think they have the right to demand that their fellow citizens spend money to protect them and clean up after them when they're finally gone? My prediction is that mayors will say, "We no longer have money to provide vital social services because we used it all on an expaneded police presence and cleanup after the Occupy protests."<br /> <br /> Big City Mayors can't print money like Obama can. They don't have Barack's stash of cash from the bailout money. They can't afford to let these protests continue indefinite<wbr>­ly because every day they cost their cities money.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/04/occupy-oakland-costs_n_1077443.html">Read the Article at HuffingtonPost</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6953296-4270759273262573738?l=trommetter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/atz8YnDj7OkM5A6e_ah5EQLb4GE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/atz8YnDj7OkM5A6e_ah5EQLb4GE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/atz8YnDj7OkM5A6e_ah5EQLb4GE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/atz8YnDj7OkM5A6e_ah5EQLb4GE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TrommetterTimes/~4/G8UD9zsWsTc" height="1" width="1"/>Jason Trommetterhttps://profiles.google.com/106294416032409950952noreply@blogger.com0http://trommetter.blogspot.com/2011/11/occupy-oakland-protesters-officials.html
