Obama, Elena Kagan, & US Senate Democrats Building A Liberal SCOTUS

On October 31, 2008, Democrat Party Presidential nominee Barack Obama said, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

Along the way since his January, 2009 inauguration, President Obama with the support on the majority left-wing Democrat Party on Capitol Hill has kept his promise. Obama and the majority Democrat Party have ‘crammed down our throats’ much left-wing legislation including ‘ObamaCare’, an expensive and demanding socialistic healthcare program. You may remember that no member of Congress or our Senate could honestly admit that they read the entire ‘ObamaCare’ legislation before voting on it. Speaker Pelosi said we could find out what was in the law ‘after’ we passed it.

Obama has previously nominated and the majority Democrat Party US Senate has confirmed a new liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor to SCOTUS.

Now, Obama has nominated Elena Kagan to SCOTUS. To begin with, Elena Kagan has ‘NO’ experience as any Judge. Yet Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) says that Kagan is ‘superbly qualified’ and ‘in the mainstream of thinking’.

As for me, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) represents the most powerful left-wing activist leader on Capitol Hill against our social Judeo-Christian values and serves as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sen. Leahy’s co-senator in Sen. Bernie Sanders who votes more as a Socialist on most every issue may place Vermont the most radical left-wing state in our Union, as well as on Capitol Hill. You may also remember that Vermont Judge Edward Cashman handed out a 60-day jail sentence to a man who raped a little girl many, many times over a four-year span starting when she was seven (7) years old. http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=4319605.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has now received over 170,000 pages of documents related to nominee Kagan. Senate Judiciary Minority Leader Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) has requested additional information reference to her service as a law clerk under SCOTUS Thurgood Marshall and while serving in the Clinton administration. "This is a very young nominee, with a very thin legal record, a very strong commitment to politics and liberal causes and an ideology of judging that seems to favor and respect judges who advance the law beyond its plain meaning. In many ways, I'm feeling this is a more dangerous nominee (than Sonia Sotomayor)’. ‘She currently is serving as President Obama’s Solicitor General, but does not have any background as a Judge. Every other member of the Supreme Court came from federal appeals court posts’. Sen. Patrick Leahy has refused Republican requests to delay the hearing so as to review more than 170,000 pages of documents.

There are many important questions where Elena Kagan should be examined. Here is a few:

Where does Kagan stand on Arizona having a right to legislate illegal immigrants? Does she support Arizona’s new law as Constitutional?

Kagan, as Dean of Law at Harvard University, banned the military from recruiting students because of the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy — in defiance of Federal law. How does Kagan substantiate her defiance of Federal law?

Where does Kagan stand on the 1st. Amendment? Democrats seem to create legislation providing the funding of the Democrat Party via organized labor, 527’s, etc. SCOTUS recently overturned much of the McCain/Feingold legislation which denied corporations to contribute. Does and/or will she support the SCOTUS decision?

While working under President Clinton and making gun control a priority, Kagan should articulate her directive restricting semiautomatic weapons. What are her views on the 2nd. Amendment? Does Kagan support the SCOTUS decision of June 28, 2010 which says the 2nd. Amendment supersedes all state legislation? Does she support any or all of the 2nd. Amendment?

In summary, it appears the Democrat Party is in the process of ‘cramming down our throats’ the confirmation of Elena Kagan without anyone having the time to read and learn her record; very comparable as to how the Democrat Party on Capitol Hill ‘crammed down our throats’ ‘ObamaCare’ without reading the legislation. I suppose as Speaker Pelosi may say, ‘We can find out about Justice Kagan after her confirmation’.

The majority Democrat Party members on Capitol Hill are forcing a nominee’s hearing of a candidate for a lifetime appointment without even allowing the minority Republican Party to totally investigate Elena Kagan’s history. Remember, President Obama and the majority Democrat Party US Senate, are demanding the US Senate and America to confirm this nominee who has no experience as a Judge and to approve this candidate without a full investigation. America must not allow Obama’s ‘fundamental transformation of America’.

God Bless America!
