Kagan Crafted Obamacare Defense

Timothy Birdnow

Obama appointed Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan crafted the legal defense for Obama's health care reform scheme.

Ed Morrissey has this to say;

"Just so we’re straight on the timeline here: On March 21, the day ObamaCare was passed, Katyal is inviting Kagan to strategy sessions about the new law. On April 9, John Paul Stevens resigns and speculation erupts about Kagan succeeding him. On May 17, Katyal is suddenly telling people that Kagan’s never been involved in anything — even though she is, in fact, the solicitor general of the United States and even though he explicitly invited her to a meeting about the law less than two months earlier — and Kagan is warning people via e-mail to make sure everyone has their story straight on what she knew by “coordinating.” Is that about right? I want to make sure we’re all square on this nonsense for when the mandate challenge finally reaches the Court and we’re told by her office that everything is magically copacetic."

End excerpt.

And Kagan has no intention of recusing herself from any challenges that come. On the contrary, efforts are underway to claim Clarence Thomas should recuse HIMSELF for some very dubious "conflict of interest" in that Jinny Thomas worked for the Heritage Foundation. She was not directly or indirectly involved in planning court challenges, yet Kagan was clearly intimately involved.

Read the e-mail exchange at Hot Air to see just how intimately involved - and to see how the libs at DOJ plotted to cover her involvement (lie) when her name was floated to succeed John Paul Stevens.

We all know liberals are about power, and what power they can steal; they are true devotees of Machiavelli, or his lefty disciple Saul Alinsky, at any rate. This offers more proof of that assertion.
