(Washington, DC) – The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, today called on the Senate Judiciary Committee to fully examine the judicial philosophy of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court.  

“It's time for tough, probing questions and clear, thorough answers," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ.  “There are many questions facing the Supreme Court nominee - perhaps none more important than: does she consider the Constitution the final authority or will she legislate from the bench? With no judicial experience, the Senate Judiciary Committee must pose specific questions about her legal positions of the past and her judicial philosophy - how does she view the role of Justices, the Constitution, and the rule of law?  The American people deserve forthright answers from Elena Kagan during the confirmation hearings."

Led by Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law and Justice focuses on constitutional law and is based in Washington, D.C.
