WASHINGTON The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee warned Monday that he would seek to slow Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's path to confirmation unless senators get full access to her files as a Clinton administration aide.
"We're heading to what could be a train wreck," Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said. "I don't believe that this committee can go forward with an adequate hearing" without all records from Kagan's tenure as a White House counsel and then domestic policy adviser to President Bill Clinton.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Judiciary Committee chairman, last week set hearings to begin on June 28. Sessions said Republicans would ask for a delay unless senators get access to the tens of thousands of pages of Clinton-era records by then.
Sessions doesn't have a veto over the hearing schedule, but his threat set the stage for a potential partisan showdown over the documents and the pace of Kagan's confirmation process.

Obviously, this liberal believes there is something derogatory about calling someone a homosexual. Ah, more tolerance from the left.

Gee Jeff, what’s WRONG with you? Just be like Orrin Hatch. Tell her how tremendously delighted you are at having her before the committee, then sleep for a couple of days and vote to confirm. It’s kept Hatch in the senate forever. Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking of what’s best for the NATION??!! Does Orrin KNOW about you?
