| Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Liberty Counsel My sources tell me some key Republicans are already willing to "give in" on the Elena Kagan nomination - without even putting up a fight. This is a serious mistake! Alarming facts about Kagan's political and judicial philosophies are coming to light. We MUST ‘not’ give this "stealth" candidate a free pass. - Mat Kagan must be thoroughly vetted and if she is not a satisfactory candidate for the Supreme Court… meaning that her answers and history do not prove her to be strong on the Constitution and a person of integrity, the GOP must fight the appointment with all tools available, including a filibuster, that Congressman Jon Kyl for Arizona has already taken off the table. Why?? The argument that Kagan is replacing a liberal judge so it doesn’t matter is ridiculous and short-sighted. Every Supreme Court Justice appointment matters. At age 50 Kagan could be on the high Court for another 40-years and her decisions could have a profound impact on our lives… and the lives of our children and grandchildren for generations… or even longer. Each judge should meet up to the highest standards, which includes and knowledge of a record of ruling based on our Constitution.. not on case law which is and has been manipulated by many many factors. It is a Progressive anti-American, anti-Constitutional concept. Also, who is to say that when a Conservative or Constitutional seat on the bench for the High Court comes up, that the GOP or Constitutionalist will win that battle, and maintain the present balance? Call, fax, email and write your Senators, Sen Jon Kyl… and as many others as you can and tell them how you feel about this nominee and that you want them to vet her and fight if she does not meet up to the standards. Supreme Court Justices need to be held to the highest standards!! I personally don’t know of anyone who was an avowed socialist in college that is a strict Constitutionalist now… Marion~ Like with Obama’s thesis and other important documents that are normally required from and available to the public for “public servents” Elana Kagan’s thesis was pulled from the Internet. The blog RedState had procured a copy but was made to pull it. It was full of Marxist-Leninist nuggets throughout. Here is a nugget from page 130 of Kagan’s thesis: in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. The story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight one’s fellows that it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe (which freedom and Capitalism). Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies. In unity lies their only hope. There was a time that this snapshot alone was enough to have someone considered a traitor and a danger to our form of government. Is this really who we want on the Supreme Court for the next 40 years? Most Americans have had enough Socialism already!! Please read below… From Liberty Counsel Despite having seen all the power grabs, "stealth" schemes and political arm-twisting that President Obama has employed since taking office, some Republicans seem ready to run up the white flag on Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court. Yet the more that comes out about Kagan's positions on key issues, the more reasons we have to be DEEPLY concerned about this nomination. It is far too early to acquiesce to the President's insistence to have Elena Kagan seated on the Supreme Court. Elena Kagan could potentially serve on the Court for 30 to 40 years. And her "blank slate" of judicial qualifications and "stealth" record compel us to resist her confirmation to avoid nasty surprises after she is seated. ++ The all-too-familiar "White House Push" has begun. ++ And after virtually stonewalling public access to Kagan's writings while at Princeton and Oxford, the White House is reluctantly making her theses available after an outcry Our urgent message: "OPPOSE THE CONFIRMATION OF ELENA KAGAN!" Go here to schedule your targeted faxes: Or
++ Kagan's nomination is a BIG deal! ++ Sessions expressed concern about Kagan to TV news magazine "This Week" by saying, "We'd like to know in a real honest sense whether her philosophy of law is so broad in her interpretation of the Constitution that you are not faithful to the Constitution and law." He also said, "... [A] judge under their oath says you serve under the Constitution, not above it. So we want to know whether she faithfully will follow it even if she doesn't like it..." Sessions added, "I think we'll be looking at her testimony because she has so little other record, and it's going to be a big deal. It's so important how she testifies." This has been a major concern of my own regarding Kagan. ++ Expelling the Military from campus. ++ And now that the left-wing blogosphere and even the New York Times has called on Kagan to honestly address the issue of her sexual orientation, Senators must not be allowed to adopt some strange standard of "political correctness" and avoid the subject. Of course, the United States Supreme court overturned her misguided resistance of the Solomon Amendment by a 9-0 vote, clearly demonstrating that her views are radically outside the mainstream of American legal thinking. ++ Kagan holds a pro-abortion viewpoint. ++ Judith Lichtman, Senior Advisor for the NPWF, wrote a letter "wholeheartedly" supporting Kagan's Solicitor General nomination, whom she describes as a "friend and colleague." Such an endorsement would not happen if Lichtman was not confident of Kagan's pro-abortion stance. ++ Citizen BARRAGE of the SENATE opposing this nomination! ++ Here's what I'm asking you to do... "OPPOSE THE NOMINATION OF ELENA KAGAN!" We will not concede this fight. We MUST stop her nomination NOW! It is best to tell your Senators how you feel before the Obama machine adds to the pressure for an immediate confirmation. As promised, I will be alerting you as more developments take place in this crucially important process. Please watch for my future updates, and thank you for carefully reviewing this important message. Thank you and God bless you! P.S. The bench of the Supreme Court of the United States requires individuals who have a keen understanding of the law and an ability to interpret the law without invoking their personal viewpoints and prejudices. Elena Kagan, lacking experience as a judge, simply does not have this proven ability. We will not concede this battle. We MUST stop the nomination of Elena Kagan before it gains momentum!
