3 jews supreme court 9 menorah

Speaking at opening plenary of Jewish GA, two Supreme Court justices discuss their Jewish identities.

U.S. Supreme Court justices Stephen Breyer and Elana Kagan talked about their Jewish identities at the opening plenary of the 2014 General Assembly conference of the Jewish Federations of North America.

Speaking before a crowd of more than 2,000 at the conference center just outside Washington, Breyer said the most remarkable thing about there being three Jews among the nine Supreme Court justices is how unremarkable it is in America today.

Kagan, the other justice on the panel discussion moderated by NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg, said that her Jewish identity was the one thing that didn’t come up during her confirmation process.

“The one thing nobody ever said, the one thing I never heard was, ‘We don’t need a third Jewish justice,’ or ‘There’s a problem with that,’ ” she said. “So that’s a wonderful thing. My grandmother would have said ‘Only in America.’”

Kagan also talked about her bat mitzvah, crediting Rabbi Shlomo Riskin – then of the Lincoln Square Synagogue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side (and now rabbi in Efrat, West Bank), with enabling the ceremony even though that sort of thing was not done in Orthodox synagogues back when Kagan was a kid.

The bat mitzvah wasn’t exactly identical to her brother’s, Kagan said – it was called a bat Torah, took place on Friday night rather than Saturday and had her chanting the haftarah portion rather than the Torah portion – but it was meaningful and groundbreaking nonetheless.

“We reached a kind of deal: It wasn’t a full bar mitzvah, but it was something,” she said. “Rabbi Riskin was very gracious, and I think it was good for the synagogue.”

Breyer said that when he thinks about what it means to be Jewish in the court, he thinks about the Jewish tradition of tzedakah.

“It’s not quite charity,” he said, “and it’s not quite rule of law either, but it’s part of trying to create a better world.”

Breyer said the great divisions of the world today are between those who believe in the rule of law and those who don’t.

“And that is a battle, and we’re on the right side of that,” he said.

The theme of this year’s General Assembly is “The world is our backyard,” and speakers will include Vice President Joe Biden and, via satellite, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“This year’s GA will remind us of why federation is relevant and critical,” GA co-chair Howard Friedman said.

  1. OUR CORRUPT JEWDICIARY AND JEWDICIAL SYSTEM IS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
    Thanks for the article. Very interesting.
    The Judaists helped the illegal alien Obama get into power and got the cases against him fixed. Obama then paid back his Jewish masters by appointing Jewish Kagan to the Supreme Court to make sure Judaists control the Supreme Court and thus the country and keep destroying it with liberalism, alienism and framing Republicans and patriots for decades to come.
    That is the root of the problem of this country—a totally lawless out of control Jewish controlled Jewdiciary (many of whom are Jewish) terrorizing and destroying the nation.
    Not only do these puppets in robes impose on this country “gay marriage” (there is no such thing as a matter of nature’s law), they have allowed 3rd world immigration by conning the public about “immigrant rights” when there is no such thing, and other left wing barbarianism.
    Furthermore, they have worked with corrupt prosecutors to frame Republicans who stand up. Eg. Meacham (governor of AZ who refused to give Martin Luther’s holiday), Stevens, Limbaugh and even Perry have been framed by the criminal enterprise called the Jewdiciary.
    But the control of the puppets in robes by their Jewish masters is not just wining and dining. They are bribed millions of dollars which are deposited into their secret bank accounts in Israel, which has the strictest bank secrecy laws in the world.
    That money is then brought back through fake charities and the Judges promised money upon retirement disguised as sinecure jobs or consultancy fees.
    Those who refuse the bribes are blackmailed and threatened that they can be arrested and framed like Trafficant or Meacham or Stevens or Tom DeLay. This is because before they are appointed, the Judaists make sure they have evidence of their criminal past which is recorded. So the puppet in robes knows that if he strays, he can be put in jail too or at least removed.
    This was described by Professor Oliver here:
    http://www.revilo-oliver.com/rpo/Our_Jewdicial_System.html
    This is how our Jewdiciary is totally under Jewish control—Jewish and most of the rest being Shabbat goy or blackmailed puppets. They are just puppets in robes who rubber stamp fake “findings of fact and conclusions of law” prepared by their Jewish masters.

  2. Hmmm
    We are a country that prides itself on its diversity. We claim to be a country that doesn’t just promote but actually lives the democratic values we preach. And yet we have 4 Jews on the Bench. One of course claims to be otherwise. And yet somehow it is Jews and Catholics that get appointed. Native Americans, Blacks, Asians, etc. well not so much. The notion that 3-4 justices who come from a group that represents less than 3 percent of the population is not unremarkable is not just illogical, it is a flat out lie. The number of Jews that are in key government positions throughout the Federal government are dozens of times higher than any normal statistical distribution. It is corruption at the highest levels. It is also sadly a slow moving snow ball. The more there are the more the bring in. It is never healthy for any society to be ruled by a group that has such a large representation from such a small segment of the population. It is not Anti-Semitic, it is common sense.
    I would be saying exactly the same thing if such a disproportionate number of any tiny minority held so many key positions in government.

  3. @DDearborn ~ Disproportionate representation is a problem in many nations. In Singapore, for example, there is sometimes hostility against ethnic Chinese people born in Singapore, since they are over-represented in government and big business. In Peru, average people resent Asians for this reason. (Asians are only one half of one percent of Peru population, but they hold perhaps 20% of government positions.) Turks resented Armenians for this reason. Guatemala has only about 1,000 Jews, yet they hold tremendous power. Guatemala was the first nation to recognize Israel, and to open an embassy in Israel.
    I could give more examples, but the point is that the Jewish problem is unique. No one may discuss or even mention disproportionate representation. To do so is “anti-Semitism.” It is “hate speech.”
    Of course, this is why Jews have so much power. Your neighbors won’t stick up for you. They’re all looking to get over on you by labeling you an “anti-Semite.”
    OCDG : That’s why this world is and always been in such a terrible condition. People just do not learn. Sins are not unique to the jews, though they comprise more than 99% of it… we Gentiles of this Earth should study the jewish phenomenon very well… all the evil that they do, we should do the opposite. We should learn from them… that’s just one of the reasons that God keeps them here… groups of people far less evil than the jews were obliterated, so there’s obviously a good reason for them continuing to exist.
    Let’s all try extremely hard NOT to follow in the wicked and sinful footsteps of the jews. Treat others as you want to be treated, “love thy neighbor as thyself” someone wise once said.

  4. EVERY TIME A DAMN JEW OPENS ITS TRAP, NOTHING BUT LIES COME OUT OF IT. WE SHULD KNOW THAT BY NOW.
    IF THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS SUPREM COURT JEWS, IS BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ALREADY BECAME AWARE OF OUR JEW SPREME COURT MEMBERS. I BEEN SAYING FOR A WHILE THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST 6 JEWS IN OUR SUPREME COURT, BUT WITH A POSIBILITY THAT COULD BE 8 OR 9.
    EVEN THE BLACK JUDGE BY THE NAME THOMAS I BELIVE HE IS HALF JEW ON HIS FATHER’S SIDE. HE WAS WELL SUPPORTED BY RUSH LIMBAUGH , WHEN HE GOT APOINTED AND RUSH LIBAUGH’S REAL JEWISH NAME IS RONALD LEVI.
    BUT SOME OF THOSE JEWS LAST NAME COULD NOT BE IGNORD AS JEW NAMES, THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE TO COME CLEAN, BUT ROBERTS CHIEF SUPREME IS A JEW DOE IT LOOKS LIKE A GENTILE NON JEW. AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOUNDER WHY OUR LAWS ARE SO OPPRESIVE, WELL WHEN THE JEWS ARE RUNNING THE NATION THEYA RE NOT GOING TO TAKE CHANCES WITH NON JEWS AS JUDGES OR FOR THAT MATTER IN ANY POSSITION OF POWER THAT COULD DERAIL THEIR NWO AGENDA.

  5. The Life of an American Jew In Racist Marxist Israel -Written in 1985 by Jack Bernstein (an extract)
    Visitors to Israel
    Tourism is one of Israel’s main sources of income. The largest groups of visitors are American Jews. But, there are also many American Christians who want to visit the holy shrines and to see the land of ‘God’s Chosen People’.
    These Christians come away very impressed and filled with religious fervor. While in Israel, Jews and Gentiles alike are carefully watched so that they do not stray and happen to see the sordid side of Israel – the true Israel.
    Like in Soviet Russia and other communist countries, visitors to Israel are taken on carefully planned guided tours. They are shown the religious sites, the universities, the lush orchards, the technical accomplishments, the arts, and to stir sympathy, they are taken to visit the Holocaust Museum. But, kept from the eyes of the tourists are the ghettos, the prisons where political prisoners, mostly Arabs and Sephardic Jews, are subjected to the most inhumane forms of torture. The tourists do not see the widespread crime activities and the corruption and cooperation between organized crime bosses and government and police officials.
    The tourists do not learn of the true inner workings of Israel’s Marxist/Fascist government; nor do they see Israel’s Racism. I met one American Tourist who couldn’t help telling me about the wonderful religious feeling she had from being in Israel – the Holy Land. I remarked to her, “Just try giving a Bible to a local Jew and you will see how much religion and religious freedom there is in Israel. If seen by the police, you will be arrested.

  6. SHAW, GEORGE BERNARD. A genius of the 20th century and British dramatist.
    “This is the real enemy, the invader from the East, the Druze, the ruffian, the oriental parasite; in a word: the Jew.” (London Morning Post, December 3, 1925)
    “This craving for bouquets by Jews is a symptom of racial degeneration. The Jews are worse than my own people. Those Jews who still want to be the chosen race (chosen by the late Lord Balfour) can go to Palestine and stew in their own juice. The rest had better stop being Jews and start being human beings.” (Literary Digest, October 12, 1932)

  7. The pic above seems to be saying, 3 down, 6 more to go and the nation now known as “Americha” (emphasis on the cha sound) can have Talmudic Law.
    Say by 2050 give or take..?
