Nevada Senator Says Kagan Doesn’t Fully Back US Constitution

J.J. Jackson | July 23, 2010 

There was more disturbing news in Washington when Nevada Senator John Ensign revealed that Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan told him that precedent was more important than what the Founding Father’s meant in writing the United States Constitution.

This is shocking that we can have a Supreme Court member who does not believe in the sanctity of the Constitution and is quite content to interpret it as she pleased.  Senator Ensign has stood up and revealed this information and announced his strong opposition to Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court.  A vote on Kagan’s confirmation could come by the end of the month.  We have to stop this nomination with a Senate filibuster.  Help us rally conservatives to this critical battle.

The Senator from Nevada is the latest to join the list of pro-troop senators who have come out against Kagan because of her lack of respect for our troops or the U.S. Constitution which those troops defend! Kagan kicked military recruiters off of Harvard’s campus while she served as Dean of that school, ignoring the fact our troops are in combat and attempting to please her own liberal social views.

Senator Ensign said he could not support Kagan because after spending over an hour and fifteen minutes talking with her directly in his office, it was apparent that she did not have a strong enough sense of the primacy of the US Constitution over all other laws.

Ensign believes the views of the Founding Fathers “need to be the heaviest weight” as justices consider cases, while Kagan “led me to the impression precedent (how courts had ruled in similar cases) was more important than what the founders intended.”

Earlier this week Kagan passed to the full senate floor after winning a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee with only one Republican, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, breaking ranks and voting for Kagan, despite her anti-military stance! Many blogs, newspapers, and journals are already predicting that Graham will face tough re-election for his vote, and we could not agree more! An anti-military lawyer such as Kagan has no place on the Supreme Court!

Donate now to support the ANTI-KAGAN TV AD Campaign that MAF has partnered with Judicial Action Group and other conservatives to run in South Carolina to get Graham back to support the filibuster!
