Testimony from Holder on Kagan and Obamacare Demanded by Sessions

Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, a senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is demanding that Attorney General Eric Holder provide the committee with written testimony related to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan’s possible involvement in President Barack Obama’s health-care legislation or litigation that was filed against that legislation during the time she was solicitor general.

A federal law, 28 USC 455, says that a Supreme Court justice must recuse from “any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned” or anytime he has “expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy” while he “served in governmental employment.”

During Kagan’s 2010 confirmation process, Sen. Sessions and other Judiciary Committee Republicans asked Kagan two questions in writing about whether she had ever been asked or had ever offered her views “regarding the underlying legal or constitutional issues related to any proposed health care legislation” or “potential litigation resulting from such legislation?” Kagan’s response to both questions was: “No.”

    This woman has no more experience to be on the Sepreme Court than Obama has to be president. She has never sat on the bench for any trial. She has never tried a case. She was a big wig at Harvard busy trying to keep military recruiters off the campus. She was picked because she will do anything that Obama wants.

    Federal Law 28 USC 455 states that the Justice must recuse in which HIS impartiality… or HE has expressed… I think she is not going to abide by this. Is she a he or only looks and acts like one?

    Will someone please tell me how these congressmen continue to let these lying maggots stay on the job? This makes no sense. These people lie even though printed documents prove they are liars and they set on there rears and give more lip service and gum bumping.

    Everyone already knows that "SHE" wrote all of the rebuttals while they were both still in Chicago.
    They knew this would come up.
