Stop Elena Kagan's Nomination to the Supreme Court.

Stop Elena Kagan's Nomination to the Supreme Court.

Back during the election I stated that one of worst aspects of an Obama Presidency would be his appointments to the Supreme Court. It's a lifetime appointment. A Judge that Obama selects is like having Obama on the Supreme Court for 30 or 40 years - most of us can't wait until he's gone and don't want anyone HE selects having that kind of power for that many years.

Kagan is exactly what the United States does NOT need on the Supreme Court. I do not like her lack of experience as a Judge. I do not like the fact that she used her position at Harvard to enforce HER beliefs on the military by blocking military recruiters from campus. I do not like her track record on abortion. I just plain don't like her lack of qualifications or her actions in the positions she's held.

Elena Kagan's nomination is still in the Judicial Committee. They will vote on her nomination soon, possibly tomorrow July 20th. If the Judiciary Committee vote passes, then the vote on her nomination will then move to the entire Senate.

Help stop her in the Committee.

Below is a table listing all the members of the Judiciary Committee. Email, call, or fax them with your objections.

If you're not in their state or district, its standard practice for Legislators to respond to your email, phone call, or fax with a message of "we only listen to and respond to our constitutes". This really chaffs my biscuit! If you email or fax, you should include something like this in your correspondence (but don't use my exact words): "I am not in your state. However, you are on the Judiciary Committee, so for business of the Judiciary Committee, the entire country is your constituency. You should listen to, and read, all the email, faxes, and phones call you receive, and not try to block out those from outside your state."

Take action now:

The Senate Judiciary Committee

Until Next Time,
Fred Black

P.S.
Kagan passes the Senate Judiciary Committee with a party-line vote with the EXCEPTION of Republican Lindsey Graham who voted FOR her. Lindsey Graham said during comments prior to the vote that the Constitution says "elections have consequences" and that he believes presidents are entitled to have their judicial picks confirmed whether he likes them or not.

Lindsey - you're an idiot.

Now we must start relentlessly pounding the Senate members to vote NO.
