Pro-Life Group: Kagan Gave False Abortion Testimony, Wants Probe

LIAR !!!!!!

[Psalm 144]

These travesties are technically under oath, are they not?

It is an absolute travesty that this woman is actually being considered for the SC position. The additional evidence that she lies, is completely evasive, and is totally at odds with the Constitution of the United States is a sad commentary on how far we have fallen from our foundation.

I think I just read: [Blah...blah...blah...we're actually doing something with your donations....blah...blah...] But AUL says the Senate must investigate a "discrepancy" in Kagan's testimony during the Supreme Court nominee's Judiciary Committee hearing before taking further action on her nomination. [blah...blah...blah...send us more money, so we can keep sending you empty updates...blah....blah...]

Okay, so how about the centerpiece of the article...her testimony...where is the "discrepancy"?

She was definitely evasive under Sen. Hatch's questioning, but I thought that she never created a discrepancy. And "not forthcoming"? Is that a requirement, to go beyond the question?

Focus on the evasion, not some investigation!

What oath do these Supreme Court nominees take when they are sworn in to testify before Congress?

"I promise not to answer any question directly and to as much as humanly possible stretch the truth so that it looks like I am a clone of Justice Roberts."

I could have sworn the oath was to "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." But maybe I was wrong.

Both Kagan and Sotomayor have told bald faced lies before congress. Maybe this will give the republicans the opportunity to impeach them both if and when they take power. Of course they won't, but then maybe Darryl Issa will at least introduce articles of impeachment.

These travesties are technically under oath, are they not?

I could be wrong but my guess is that nominees aren't under oath during hearings such as this.

Kagan altered the ACOG report before filing it in a Federal court. She should be disbarred for an ethics violation like that.
