Want to Talk to Kagans Family? Permission Denied
White Houses traditionally put a muzzle on their Supreme Court nominees, to keep them from saying anything that might jeopardize Senate confirmation. But the Obama White House has taken it one step further. It is limiting, if not blocking, access to the nominees family.
The New York Times received permission on Tuesday from Hunter College High School in Manhattan, Elena Kagans alma mater, to observe a constitutional law class there taught by her brother Irving. We thought it would be intriguing to watch the give and take between Mr. Kagan, who is known as a passionate and interactive educator, and his students on his first day back after witnessing his sisters nomination in Washington.
Mr. Kagan, who is also a Hunter alumnus, did not have a problem with the idea, a school spokeswoman said, but she added that all media requests now had to be given final approval by the White House. The times were tentatively set: there was either an 8:52 a.m. class or a 9:36 a.m. class on Wednesday. I thought it would have been great, said the spokeswoman, Meredith Halpern.
But when presented with the idea by The Times, the White House balked.
Joshua Earnest, a White House spokesman, said that the administration was uncomfortable with the idea at this time.

Do you realize the "left wing media" stuff is a joke that got latched onto the bandwagon of idiocy by people like yourself who repeat shit you think sounds cool?
Eta: I bet a lot of people pointing to this are the same ones who said Palin's family is off limits. Same as with no-Dick Cheney's gay daughter. I bet if Biden had a gay daughter there would have been bitching about that.
Also, who is being nominated? Kagan or her family?
Nice rant... Palin's kids? Cheney's daughter? Did you read the article?
