McCaul statement on the nomination of Elena Kagan as Supreme Court Justice

May 10, 2010

“Confirming someone to our nation’s highest court should be done with the utmost scrutiny. Elena Kagan deserves a fair hearing that will fully explore her record, including her lack of experience both as a judge and as a practicing attorney and her troubling decision to ban military recruiters from Harvard Law School when she was Dean. If she is confirmed by the Senate it is my hope that she bases her decisions strictly on the Constitution and does not legislate from the bench based on her personal political beliefs.”
