Kagan helped defend Clinton from the Travelgate scandal and worked on issues including welfare, hate crimes, race and tobacco regulation.

Her stances on those issues, as reflected in memos and other written documents, may provide valuable clues about how she views the law.

The first of those clues emerged late Monday when the Associated Press unearthed a memo written by Kagan in 1997 urging Clinton to ban late-term abortions.

Monday, Senate Republicans on the Judiciary Committee were coy about their intentions on how they’ll approach the memos. Recent history indicates they will have to take some action to pry the memos loose.

When President George W. Bush nominated John Roberts to the court in 2005, then-Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter told the White House he would issue subpoenas for Roberts’s memos from his time in the Reagan White House and in the Justice Department if they were not produced. The White House produced them.

On Monday, only one Senate Republican openly called for the Kagan memos to be released.

“We’re going to request any and all relevant documents. In light of the fact that she has no judicial experience whatsoever, we will have to rely on what she has said and written even more than we would with other nominees,” said Kevin McLaughlin, spokesman for Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican.

Cornyn, McLaughlin said, had hoped that the White House would release the documents unilaterally but said that in the absence of that “we trust that they won’t obstruct the process.”

She helped with Travelgate.

But see, no one cares about scandals that are over a decade old.  That's what the libs will tell us.

Is the Citizens United case old news too?

That is the case Obie attacked the SCOTUS for at the SOTU speech and now he wants the Solicitor General who argued it on the court that rejected it.

Her appointment is a slap in the face of John Roberts, people.
