(Jul. 18, 2011) — One of Obama’s faux U.S. Supreme Court Justice appointees appears to have intended, in her previous position as Solicitor General, to defend the health care law passed last year despite what she told the U.S. Senate during her confirmation hearings, with her staff members agreeing among themselves that she “would be brought in as needed” to do so.
The evidence was released as a result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit which has been combined with a second lawsuit. Both plaintiffs sought email communications which Elena Kagan might have sent or received as well as any meetings she might have attended in regard to “health-care legislation” (page 6) orlitigation in regard to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) passed on March 23, 2010 signed by Obama.
Kagan served as White House Counsel from 1995-1999 under President Clinton, prior to which she had been a faculty member at the University of Chicago Law School. As Dean of Harvard Law School from 2003 to 2009, she opposed the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military policy in place at the time and “supported a lawsuit intended to overturn the Solomon Amendment so military recruiters might be banned from the grounds of schools like Harvard.”
