Anyone else catch the OWH's Public Pulse for 7/5?
http://www.omaha.com/article/20100705/NEWS0802/707059997#the-public-pulse-july-5Kagan can ensure justice for all
The confirmation of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court would add a highly qualified person and an important voice for all Americans to the court?s deliberations.
The Supreme Court rules on decisions that impact all of our lives on a daily basis. Therefore, appointments to the court deserve the most serious attention because they will have an impact for generations.
Kagan would uphold the U.S. Constitution and the law to provide equal justice and protect personal freedoms for everyone in the United States. She is a leader who inspires confidence and praise across the political spectrum for her fair-mindedness and insistence that all views deserve a respectful hearing.
We urge the Senate to examine Kagan?s record, listen to her speak and confirm her nomination expeditiously so she will have time to prepare and participate in September, when the Supreme Court confers to select cases to be heard for the coming year.
