    Jewish Clergy Group: Elena Kagan Isn't æKosherÆ to Serve on Supreme
    Court
    Friday, June 25, 2010
    By Pete Winn, Senior Writer/Editor


    CNSNews.com) û Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is ônot kosherö --
    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.ö

    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 û from a concept of a nation of priests
    and holy people, she is turning it into, æLetÆs homosexualize every
    segment of society. And by the way, partial-birth babies have no right
    to be delivered.Æ"

    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.

    ôIt 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,ö the rabbis said in the statement.

    Levin told CNSNews.com that his fellow rabbis û and hundreds of
    thousands of Orthodox and traditional Jews û are puzzled at the
    presidentÆs choice of Kagan.

    ôWhat exactly was Obama thinking, President Obama thinking, when he
    nominated Kagan? Because eventually, down the road, someone -- or some
    group -- is going to ætake the hitÆ for the crazy decisions that Kagan
    is bound to make. So we would have much preferred if President Obama had
    given this ædistinctionÆ to another minority group, instead of singling
    out the Jews.ö

    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.

    æWeÆre waiting for the more courageous, decent senators û whether itÆs a (Sen.) Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) or a (Sen.) Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) or a (Sen.)
    Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) û weÆre looking for them to stand up and
    filibuster this embarrassing endangerment of a nomination,ö 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.
