Citing Evidence They Call 'Contradictory' to Kagan's Confirmation Testimony, 49 Lawmakers Call for Judiciary Committee Investigation

Forty-nine members of the U.S. House of Representatives--including the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, the chairman of the Republican Policy Committee and two presidential candidates--are pointing to evidence they say is "contradictory" to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan's confirmation testimony and calling for the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the matter.

The lawmakers also say they believe that evidence already made public shows that Kagan must recuse herself from any court cases involving the health care bill signed into law by President Barack Obama while she was serving as Obama's solicitor general.

"We respectfully call upon the House Judiciary Committee to promptly investigate the extent to which U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was involved in preparing a legal defense of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) during her tenure as Solicitor General," the 49 lawmakers wrote in a letter to Rep. Lamar Smith (R.-Texas), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and Rep. John Conyers (D.-Mich.), the ranking member of the committee.

"Contradictory to her 2010 confirmation testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, recently released Department of Justice (DOJ) documents indicate that Justice Kagan actively participated with her Obama Administration colleagues in formulating a defense of PPACA," the letter said.

Bill Dawson:
Kagen didn't just lie during confirmation hearings, she committed a felony in a court case before she was nominated and deserves to be impeached and dis-barred. And Mrs. Thomas didn't report income in the correct place on her tax returns? Wow. By the way, we have*more than*enough tax revenue to pay the interest on our debt, we just have to pay it first. There will NEVER be enough money to pay for socialism.

Buh-Bye Kagan! :nanner:

This is potentially interesting, but could you source the article?

(On a side note, Clarence Thomas touched my butthole when I was a kid, but you don't see me calling for his impeachment!)

OK, the title of your thread is misleading and your source is a right wing "news" outfit. This is all just trumped up bullshit.

Justices can be impeached by the House of Representatives and tried in the Senate if they commit "high crimes and misdemeanors," which include crimes, unethical behavior, actions damaging to the government, etc. If found guilty, the justice will be removed from office. They cannot be removed on any other grounds, including incompetency.

Nothing will come of this and Kagan won't be the first justice in 200 years to be impeached, no matter how toxic the right tries to make the political climate.

That's because you liked it. We all liked it when he did.
