Kagan picks up another endorsement

Kagan got "Nasty"

Something you might not have known about Elena Kagan, from Adam Serwer:

In 1989, Elena Kagan filed an amicus brief arguing that 2 Live Crew's album, As Nasty As They Wanna Be, which had been banned by a federal judge because of its sexual content, wasn't obscene in part because no one could possibly be aroused by it. "Nasty does not physically excite anyone who hears it," Kagan wrote, "much less arouse a shameful and morbid sexual response." A higher court ultimately overturned the ban.

Despite this less than ringing review of the song, 2 Live Crew hasn't forgotten, and she has their endorsement for Supreme Court. Now how many nominees can top that?

:rofl:
