Elena Kagan has failed the ethical standards necessary for service on the Supreme Court. She also has shown herself to be an apologist not just for legalized abortion, but for legalized partial-birth abortion - a gruesome form of infanticide opposed by up to 75 percent of the American public. In yesterday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, Ms. Kagan utterly failed in her attempts to explain away her unethical actions on behalf of an immoral policy. After these revelations, no senator claiming to be a moderate should be able to support Ms. Kagan.
Documents from Ms. Kagan's service in Bill Clinton's administration show her saying it would be a "disaster" if word got out that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) "could identify no circumstances under which [the partial-birth procedure] ... would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman." She was so ideologically committed to keeping partial-birth abortions legal that she didn't want the full medical truth released without accompanying language that diluted the impact of the facts.

The list, ping
But, that's ok because the spineless 'Pubbies have already announced that they don't plan to block her nomination.
Which begs the question - Where DO they draw the line?? If zero wants to nominate the head of al Qaeda to lead the US Humanitarian Commission, will they approve THAT nomination!!??
The 'Pubbie "leadership" is beyond just being spineless, they are despicable.
Isn’t what Kagan did by distorting the ACOG report the same as a crooked lawyer forging a client’s name to a document ?
Just that alone should disqualify her for the USSC.
She’s dishonest and devious.
Republicans should filibuster this unethical and unqualified nominee.
The stakes are too high to just give her a pass by meekly voting no.
There is nothing - nothing - as vile as partial-birth abortion.
Only demons support it.
Kagan is a dedicated socialist that despises the constitution. Why wouldn't anyone that cared about the constitution and the rule of law even in the slightest fight this appointment tooth and nail, pulling out every possible stop.
ARe there any surprise witnesses out there that might sway public opinion?
That language was RETAINED in the final report.
