Stop Kagan's Confirmation
« on: July 09, 2010, 10:18:00 AM »
We really need to stop this liberal Obama appointee if possible, I made my phone calls this morning, to  help you I am providing the telephone numbers.  Please read on........
 
    Sen.Jeff Sessons (R) Al, (205) 731-1500
 
    Sen. Orrin Hatch, (R) UT., (202)224-5251
 
    Sen Chuck Grasley, (R) IA, (202) 224-3744
 
    Sen Jon Kyl, (R) AZ, (202) 224-4521
 
    Sen Lindsey Graham, (R) SC, (202) 224-5972
 
    Sen John Cornyn, (R) TX, (202) 228-2856
 
    Sen Tom Coburn (R) OK, (202)224-5754
 
 Republicans in Senate Judiciary Committee CAN Stop Kagan's Confirmation

The seven Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee can STOP KAGAN'S CONFIRMATION by invoking Rule IV. of the Senate Judiciary Committee Rules, and BLOCKING THE VOTE right in the Committee.

PLEASE CALL THE WASHINGTON, D.C. OFFICES OF THE SEVEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS ON THE
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

After their recess, after U.S. Senators on the Judiciary Committee return July 12 to the Capitol in Washington, D.C., there will be the question of actually voting on the Elena Kagan nomination in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

However, if the seven Republican Senators choose to truly uphold their oaths, and do all in their power to BLOCK the appointment of this dangerous nominee, this domestic enemy of the written United States Constitution, Elena Kagan , the Rules of the Senate Judiciary Committee [ Rule IV. BRINGING A MATTER TO A VOTE ] require that at least one Republican vote in favor of bringing the Kagan nomination to a vote.  That means one of these seven would have to be a "Benedict Arnold" - and betray their Oath of Office and their country:  Sessions (AL), Hatch (UT), Grassley (IA), Kyl (AZ), Graham (SC), Cornyn (TX), and Coburn (OK) - however if all seven will stand firm and vote against bringing confirmation of the Kagan nomination to a vote
in the Senate Judiciary Committee - then the Kagan confirmation can be BLOCKED right in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Please call the seven Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee
at their Washington, D.C. offices as soon as possible (the Senators themselves
are on break this week, but the Senate offices are open and staffed), and tell
them you are asking each and every Senator to invoke Rule IV. of the Senate
Judiciary Committee Rules, which means that unless at least one minority party
(i.e. Republican) member agrees to end debate and to bring a matter to vote,
then the Kagan confirmation cannot even be voted upon.  In other words, this
is the equivalent of a Committee-level filibuster, and as long as all seven Republican
Senators vote against ending debate and bringing the matter to a vote, then KAGAN'S
CONFIRMATION CAN BE STOPPED RIGHT IN THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE !!!

Rules of Procedure United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary:   
IV. BRINGING A MATTER TO A VOTE[emphasis added]
The Chairman shall entertain a non-debatable motion to bring a matter before the Committee to a vote. If there is objectionto bring the matter to a vote without further debate, a roll call vote of the Committee shall be taken, and debate shall be terminated if the motion to bring the matter to a vote without further debate passes with ten votes in the affirmative,
one of which must be cast by the minority.
___________________________________________________________________

This is yet another opportunity for incumbent Republicans to show whether they are worth having in office. It is great that Senators Sessions, Kyl, Cornyn, and Coburn, for example, asked judicial activist, pro-abortion, pro-sodomite, anti-Christ,feminist Solicitor General Elena Kagan tough questions during the confirmation hearings on June 29 and June 30, and to
the extent she even really answered the questions (or by her record and non-answers when she did not), her anti-Constitutionalviews, positions, and record were exposed, to a greater or lesser extent.  However, that was all words - now is comingthe time for the VOTE - are these seven Republican Senators going to use the procedural tool that is availableto them within the scope of their authority and power, to protect America and the American people from this
domestic enemy of the U.S. Constitution ?!!  If not, then those of these seven who will not, do not need to bere-elected to office when their present term expires.

Senators Sessions (AL), Hatch (UT), Grassley (IA), Kyl (AZ), Graham (SC), Cornyn (TX), and Coburn (OK) - WILL YOU  UPHOLD YOUR OATHS OF OFFICE, AND PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES FROM THIS DOMESTIC ENEMY, ELENA KAGAN ? - OR WILL YOU REFUSE TO INVOKE RULE IV. AND ALLOWHER CONFIRMATION TO PASS OUT OF THE THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, ONE STEP CLOSER TO A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, WHERE SHE CAN SHRED THE CONSTITUTION (as now JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR HAS ALREADY STARTED TRYING TO DO - e.g.,
Citizens United free speech case - the first Supreme Court case argued by Solicitor General Elena Kagan), AND PUT AT FURTHER RISK THE LIFE, LIBERTIES, AND PROPERTY OF AMERICAN CITIZENS ?!!

Please call the seven Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee as soon as possible, today (July 8), Friday (July 9), and Monday (July 12), and inform them of your request that they  invoke Rule IV. of the Senate Judiciary Committee Rules, and BLOCK the vote on confirmation of the Kagan nomination to a lifetime appointment to the United States Supreme Court.

A good friend of mine and former lawyer sent this item regarding Kagan.  He is urging me to write my senators regarding Kagan's apparent "manufacturing of facts". I have no way to verify the info he provided but I'll post it in case it is of interest or someone can verify:

This statement from ACOG shows that these experts were friendly expert witnesses. Hence, they would not have objected to Kagan's editing of their statement. Kagan apparently took their official statement and edited the experts' language so it explicity met the requirements of the law. Instead of arguing the law based on the facts, she changed the facts. This is a hot, smoking gun. I wonder if Senator Hatch has noticed this statement. ACOG was undoubtedly complicit. Kagan, an attorney, changed an expert witness document.

The significant facts are that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists submitted a statement that they “could identify no circumstances under which this procedure [pba] . . . would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman.”  Elena Kagan, a lawyer, edited (or caused to be edited) the statement to state that PBA “may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of a woman.” Ms. Kagan used the false statement to mislead federal courts. This conduct is sure grounds for an ignominious disbarment . . . in a nation where the rule of law is in effect.

hmm don't know why the link doesn't work.

Try this for the original article from which the commentary was derived:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jun/24/the-case-against-kagan/

7-12 update: My other link doesn't work even for me.

But here is the article that I think points at what some would consider a smoking gun in Kagan's hand for unethical behavior; and was quoted in my original post:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jul/8/kagans-kiss-of-death/

Oh and I emailed my senators even tho one of them will probably vote for her. I sure won't be voting for him.
