The Senate Judiciary Committee is taking up the nomination of Elena Kagan to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Judiciary Committee members and Elena Kagan are making opening statements and will move to the question and answer session beginning Tuesday. She will be introduced by Massachusetts Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Scott Brown (R-MA).
The committee plans four days of hearings with the questioning of the nominee Tuesday and Wednesday and outside witnesses on Thursday. If confirmed, Elena Kagan will replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens on the Court.
Lindsay made me want to puke.
This woman, based on her deeds and writings, is a communist.
It’s probably a kangaroo court (no pun intended) but it will be revealing to see how Brown has sold out.
She sent financial contributions to groups aligned with pro-abortion agendas.
She criticized regulations keeping American tax dollars from paying for pro-abortion programs.
She tried to silence critics of activist judges, actually calling the critics “irresponsible”!
She recommended President Clinton support a phony ban on partial birth abortion, in spite of her belief it would be unconstitutional.
She argued that federal funding for pregnancy-related programs should be completely off limits to religious groups.
She expressed a belief that making physician-assisted suicide a federal crime would be “a fairly terrible idea.”
She supported cloning of human embryos for research.
Sessions’ opening statement wiped that stupid grin off her face!
I would like to hear one Republican ask the question: “Do you believe in the rule of law, or the rule of man?”
Senator Cornyn is speaking of the traditional Constitution as in the meaning and intent when it was written vs. a living breathing Constitution and where activists judges change its meaning year after year.
Kagan is dressed in apologetic blue.
Turbin Durbin has two words for the traditional Constitutionalists - “Citizens United”
Senator Cardin (D) is up before a 10 minute break.
Tomorrow will be SEIU purple. (And who on earth did her makeup? Just sayin'.)
Cspan is going into phone calls for 10 minutes while the session is in break.
Senator Session speaking now in the break. He liked Senator Coburns take on things that she should be completely honest. Session didn’t like the distortions of the ‘Citizens United’ case characterized by Durbin.
Okay, so now I understand Cardin’s definition of an “activist judge.” One who considers the intent of the founders without considering the intent of the latest congress.
Elena Kagan isn’t qualified to clerk for Harriet Miers. She is proof that Obamao hates America.
Franken is a village idiot.
