House Committee Will Investigate Kagan’s Role in Obamacare

House Committee Will Investigate Kagan’s Role in Obamacare


The House Judiciary Committee has responded to a letter from nearly 50 House members asking for a hearing into the role pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Elana Kagan played during her time in the Obama administration formulating Obamacare.



Kagan served as President Barack Obama’s solicitor general and helped formulate the legal defense of the legislation, which pro-life groups opposed because of abortion funding and rationing concerns.



The investigation, according to a CNS News report, will examine whether Kagan is legally required to recuse herself from the cases the Supreme Court will hear that are currently in various federal appeals courts. The probe will also tackle whether she was accurate and truthful in her answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee during the hearings on her confirmation to become a Supreme Court justice.



CNS indicates House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith released a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder announcing the investigation.



“On June 24, 2011, I received the enclosed letter from 49 Members of Congress,” he said. “On their behalf, I write to request relevant documents and witness interviews in order to properly understand U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Elena Kagan’s involvement in health care legislation or litigation while serving as United States Solicitor General. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/07/07/house-committee-will-investigate-kagans-role-in-obamacare/
