Supreme Court judge [Kagan] suspected of deception during confirmation hearings

A Washington, DC-based public-interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption reported on Friday that its officials have obtained documents suggesting US Supreme Court Associate Justice Elena Kagan helped coordinate the Obama administration’s legal defense of the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) while she served as Solicitor General.

During her confirmation, Kagan claimed she was not involved in the Department of Justice (DOJ) preparations for legal challenges to Obamacare. Moreover, the Supreme Court justice did not recuse herself from the High Court decision in April 2011 when she and other Justices refused to “fast-track” the Supreme Court review of Virginia’s lawsuit challenging Obamacare.

The following are highlights from the documents obtained by Judicial Watch as a result of  a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on February 24, 2011. (Judicial Watch’s lawsuit has been consolidated with a similar FOIA lawsuit that had been first filed against the DOJ by Brent Bozell and the Media Research Center. The lawsuits are now both before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia...)

According to a memo from former Deputy Solicitor General (and current Acting Solicitor General) to Brian Hauck, Senior Counsel to Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli, Kagan was involved in the strategy to defend Obamacare from the very beginning...

Only suspected? What a laugh!

[Cheerio]

Surprise surprise!!

I wrote many Senators pleading with them to filibuster. No dice. Now we live with the consequences. My guess is that Barry will not ALLOW her to recuse herself with the challenge to Obamacare - the keystone to his larger Government and control over EVERY aspect of our lives.

"Camping may well be right about the date but he was all wet about what was going to happen."
with all due respect, this statement is flat out false...the house can bring charges and write up articles of impeachment any damn time it chooses to do so...the senate then votes on impeachement...my question is, why has the house not brought up charges on any judges???

[joe fonebone]

holy crap....my statement from another thread ended up here....sorry about that

[EternalVigilance]

lol...you forgot to apply the old carpenter’s rule...measure twice, cut once.

[Mark was here]

So how will the media deride those looking into this issue?

Bitch-ers??

[Jeff Chandler]

why has the house not brought up charges on any judges???

The calculations do not produce enough political gain for them.

[EternalVigilance]

Badabing.

No chit. I detected deception when I watched her testimony. They should have Borked her.

[getarope]

Confusing her with Kevin James?

[Clintonfatigued]

At the very least, Kagan should be forced to recuse herself.

How long will they last? Both Kagan is obese and Sotomayor is heavy and has type I Diabetes since age 8. Kagan is a little younger than Sotomayor but she's HUGE and her health issues will start to appear. She has to have high blood pressure and Type II Diabetes can't be too far off.

A leftist who lies? I’m shocked.

“One instance (Eric Holder) - perhaps an oversight
Two instances (Eric Holder and Tim Geithner) - perhaps a coincidence
Three instances (Eric Holder, Tim Geithner & Elena Kagan)- definitely maybe a pattern...”

I think the pattern is allowing Obama to become president. Once he’s in, he WILL (and did) get his people into power.

But I know, we were mad at Bush...

[Roklok]

Of course. Democrats lie!

[EternalVigilance]

At the very least.

I see that you put this in bloggers, and I understand why.

But, I would suggest that not all Examiner authors are created equal. This particular one, Jim Kouri, with his Law Enforcement Examiner, has consistently maintained a very high level of quality in his reporting, both in terms of the content and the quality of the writing. His work is vastly superior to most of the “mainstream” press, from a conservative standpoint.

Just a thought.

Thanks for all you do.

Which reminds me to ask, do ya think Roberts used a Koran the second time he swore barry the bass turd in to the office?

[MHGinTN]

I personally don’t care what you do with your time. I find it curious that you seem to think I posted and made a mistake in transposing letters, just to waste YOUR time. LOL You must be such an important person!

[GoldenPup]

Good points. You left off the fact that Ginsberg has had pancriatic cancer for a few years, but Obama will probably get a chance to replace her. No matter who he nominates he will have a hard time getting confirmation just like he did recently with Lui for the 9th circus court.
