FRC Action Statement on Elena Kagan's approval by the Senate Judiciary Committee

WASHINGTON, July 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today's Senate Judiciary Committee vote to advance the Supreme Court nomination of U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the full Senate shows how little those supporting Ms. Kagan care about constitutional governance, Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins said following the Committee's action.

Earlier this month, Perkins testified against Ms. Kagan's nomination before the Senate Judiciary Committee in part because of her treatment of military recruiters while she was dean of Harvard Law School.

Perkins made the following comments regarding today's Committee vote:

"Today's vote ignores Elena Kagan's troubling record of impassioned liberal activism and disregard for the law. She wasn't bound by the law when she blocked military recruiters from Harvard's campus in protest of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' Her political advocacy of partial-birth abortion in the face of medical evidence shows she isn't bound by science, either.

"Elena Kagan has trampled every obstacle standing in the way of her pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, which calls into question her ability to be an impartial jurist.

"In my testimony, I urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject her nomination because we do not need a justice on the Supreme Court who sees it as her life mission to write the homosexual version of Roe v. Wade by striking down one-man, one-woman marriage across America. These positions and the temperament accompanying them make her unfit to sit as an associate justice on the Supreme Court."

Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET, FRC Action will host a live Webcast that will address today's Committee vote and the Obama Administration's efforts to overturn the law on homosexuals in the military. The live Webcast can be viewed at http://www.frcaction.org/missioncompromised.
