Jordan Lorence: Elena Kagan and Mrs. Smith

By Alliance Alert

ADF Attorney Jordan Lorence writing at Speak Up Movement / University: "Late last week, we learned about a memo that Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan wrote in 1997 while she worked in the Clinton White House. She urged the President to support the Supreme Court appeal of Evelyn Smith, a widow from Chico, California who lost her religious liberty case at the California Supreme Court. . . . represented Mrs. Smith in this case, so I was very interested to learn that Elena Kagan supported the legal arguments I made in the case for Mrs. Smith. . . . Elena Kagan?s confirmation hearings begin June 28. I hope the senators ask her whether she still supports the point of view expressed in the memo. She may be much better on these First Amendment issues than Justice Stevens was, the justice she may be replacing."
