Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee are considering boycotting the hearings planned next week for pro-abortion nominee Elena Kagan because they still have not received the documents they requested from her tenure s Solicitor General for pro-abortion President Barack Obama.
Other documents concern Kagan's time as a top aide during the Clinton administration, and some already made public show her providing him political cover for vetoing a ban on partial-birth abortions.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, a pro-life lawmaker from Alabama, told Politico Monday evening that GOP lawmakers on the panel may boycott the hearings if the documents are not provided beforehand.
"I don't feel like we're prepared yet," Sessions said. "It's becoming more clear that this is not an easy thing to get ready this quick."
“If we feel like we can't go forward with the hearings … because we don't have sufficient documents, then yes, we may feel compelled to do whatever it takes to try to insist that the process be done right," he added.

I’m guessing that’s a big NO!
Will that stop the hearings or simply make it a love fest? If the former, that’s OK; if the latter, that’s stupid.
Oh that will show them. /s
I think we need to start with a sex test. She is fugly.
The White House is trying to RHAM it through. I thot that was a clever play on words if I do say so myself...lol.
ONE token holdout to cover for the rest of the docile country club slave RINOs.
This is the opening they need, if they really want to stop her.
Remember, 4 years ago (approx) the democrats filibustered Estrada because they couldn’t get a release of his old documents from his time in government. They made a “compelling” case to the media and America that you simply couldn’t expect them to vote yes or no if they didn’t have all the facts.
The Republicans should get together, and then issue a statement, which would explain that they still oppose judicial filibusters, but that since the democrats are in the majority, and have set the rules by their own actions, that the republicans will abide by the rules the Democrats used.
Then the republicans should do nothing more but read the transcripts of statements by the democrats, when they speak on the senate floor, or in the sunday talk shows. They should each memorize their parts, and quote the exact things said by the democrats about Estrada and documents.
There should be no vote allowed on Kagan until we have all the documents. That is the standard, that is the Democrat rule, and we should require they abide by that rule, until they themselves issue a Senate rules change to fix it (at which time we can at least know that the democrats won’t be able to pull this crap again when they are in the minority).
GOP..repeat after me...NO. Did you get that? I’ll repeat...NO, NO, NO, NO!!.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
They’ve already said they’re not going to strike down Kagan.
RINOs: selling you out one freedom at a time. :)

And hell may freeze over also.
Now I must return to reading "Alice in Wonderland," as I wait for Santa Claus to tether a pony under my Christmas tree,and the Tooth Fairy to make a long overdue deposit under my pillow.
I can only speak to what I wish they would do, not what I expect them to do.
