   Jewish Clergy Group: Elena Kagan Isn't ‘Kosher’ to Serve on Supreme    
   Court    
   Friday, June 25, 2010   
   By Pete Winn, Senior Writer/Editor    
      
      
   CNSNews.com) – Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is “not kosher” --    
   meaning she is not fit to serve on the court -- according to more than    
   850 Orthodox members of the Rabbinical Alliance of America. That's the    
   term the rabbis used about Kagan in a press release issued Thursday,    
   saying "Elena Kagan is not kosher. She is not fit to sit on this Court --    
   or any court."   
       
   Rabbi Yehuda Levin, spokesman for the alliance, told CNSNews.com on    
   Thursday that "a great deal has been made about the fact that she would    
   be the second Jewish woman on the court, and we want to signal to people    
   across the country that we take no pride in this.”    
       
   Levin said most people are happy when "one of their own" is nominated to    
   such a high position. But, he added, "We feel that Elena Kagan turns    
   traditional Judaism on its head – from a concept of a nation of priests    
   and holy people, she is turning it into, ‘Let’s homosexualize every    
   segment of society. And by the way, partial-birth babies have no right    
   to be delivered.’"   
       
   In a statement issued Thursday, the rabbinical alliance called on the    
   Senate Judiciary Committee to refuse to confirm Kagan to succeed the    
   outgoing Justice John Paul Stevens.   
       
   “It is clear from Ms. Kagan's record on issues such as abortion-on-   
   demand, partial-birth-abortion, the radical homosexual and lesbian    
   agenda, the "supremacy" of the anti-family panoply over religious    
   liberties of biblical adherents, et. al., that she will function as a    
   flame-throwing radical, hastening society's already steep decline into    
   Sodom and Gomorrah,” the rabbis said in the statement.   
       
   Levin told CNSNews.com that his fellow rabbis – and hundreds of    
   thousands of Orthodox and traditional Jews – are puzzled at the    
   president’s choice of Kagan.   
       
   “What exactly was Obama thinking, President Obama thinking, when he    
   nominated Kagan? Because eventually, down the road, someone -- or some    
   group -- is going to ‘take the hit’ for the crazy decisions that Kagan    
   is bound to make. So we would have much preferred if President Obama had    
   given this ‘distinction’ to another minority group, instead of singling    
   out the Jews.”   
       
   Barring a rebuff from the Senate Judiciary Committee, Levin told    
   CNSNews.com that the rabbis want someone in the Senate to launch a    
   filibuster to stop Kagan's nomination from coming to a vote.    
       
   ‘We’re waiting for the more courageous, decent senators – whether it’s a    
   (Sen.) Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) or a (Sen.) Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) or a (Sen.)    
   Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) – we’re looking for them to stand up and    
   filibuster this embarrassing endangerment of a nomination,” Levin said.    
      
   Confirmation hearings for Kagan begin Monday at the Senate Judiciary    
   Committee. Neither Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) nor  Sen. Russ    
   Feingold (D-Wis.) -- both members of the committee, known Kagan    
   supporters and top Jewish members of the Senate -- responded to calls    
   for comment on this story.
