A prominent group of Jewish Rabbis have voiced their opposition against Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, saying that she is “not fit to serve – on the Supreme Court, or any other court.”

Rabbi Yehuda Levin, speaking on behalf of some 850 members of the Rabbinical Alliance of America, said in a statement released on Thursday that they are “devastated and broken-hearted” by President Obama’s nomination of Elena Kagan, who could possibly become the nation’s eighth Jewish Supreme Court justice, saying that she does not represent the “historic Torah values shared by Orthodox and traditional Jews.”

Levin’s remarks come following the release of thousands of papers documenting Kagan’s time as a White House lawyer under former President Bill Clinton, which showed the current solicitor general to have a liberal bent on issues such as abortion, religious freedom, gay rights, and constitutional interpretation.

According to Levin, Kagan’s track record makes it clear that she will function as a “flame-throwing radical, hastening society’s already steep decline into Sodom and Gommorah.”

“It should be clear that Ms. Kagan's long line of forebearers, presumably tracing back to Sinai, would have sacrificed their lives rather than embrace the anti-G-d, counter-sanctity agenda that she has lived and promoted,” Levin said, noting that his group fears a “backlash, fed by pent up grass-roots resentment over extremist decisions Ms. Kagan is bound to issue.”

“In these socially and economically trying times, we are most concerned about being scapegoated and targeted by even a tiny subset of the tens of millions of citizens simply fed up with an imperial anti-family, anti-Biblical Judiciary,” he continued, giving the example of Judge Vaughn Walker, who many expect to overturn California’s ban on gay marriage.

Levin’s group joins several others, especially pro-life supporters, who are currently petitioning against Kagan’s acceptance onto the Supreme Court bench.

Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life, has called Kagan an “ardent abortion supporter” and one who “embraces judicial activism and abortion-on-demand.”

“Obama is taking too great a risk with America’s future with the Kagan pick,” she said.

Meanwhile, pro-abortion group the Center for Reproductive Rights noted that while Kagan’s records show her agreement that the Constitution affords a right to an abortion, her writings also raise questions about the “depth of her consideration of the significance of reproductive rights to women's health, lives, and equality."

It is “critical that Senators inquire into her-or any nominee's-current views on constitutional protections for abortion rights,” the group said in a statement on Monday.

Other groups, however, have claimed that Kagan’s limited track record gives few clues on how she will rule on the majority of the cases that the Supreme Court deals with.

"The simple truth is that there is much that we do not know about Kagan's views on the Constitution and the court," the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said in a report. "The available record offers very few clues about her constitutional views on criminal justice, immigration, voting rights, prisoners' rights, due process, the Establishment Clause and a host of other recurring Supreme Court topics."

Faith Leaders Laud Obama’s Call to Fix ‘Broken’ Immigration System
By Lorena Margam
Ecumenical Press Reporter


E-mailPrint Faith leaders from the across the nation lauded President Obama’s call yesterday for Congress to take up a bipartisan effort to fix the country’s immigration system, which he said “seems fundamentally broken.”




“The question now is whether we will have the courage and the political will to pass a bill through Congress, to finally get it done,” Obama said, adding that without Republican votes, “we cannot solve this problem.”

"We stand here today to call on our President to do everything in his power to maintain the integrity of our nation. Our core values and interests are at stake,” said Lisa Sharon Harper, Executive Director of New York Faith and Justice, who was invited to attend President Obama's speech.

"The faith community will not let up,” she added. “We see firsthand the brokenness of our system and its devastating effects on families across the country, and we will continue to be powerful advocates for comprehensive reform."

Church World Service (CWS) Associate for Immigration and Refugee Policy Jen Smyers, who also attended the address, said that she was, “greatly encouraged to hear the President reiterate his commitment to work with Congress on a solution to our broken immigration system.”

“We especially are heartened by his emphasis on the importance of family unity, his support for a pathway to earned citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and his support for The DREAM Act,” Smyers said.

Along with a call for bipartisanship, President Obama also commented on Arizona’s notorious immigration law, saying that “given the levels of frustration across the country, this is understandable..[b]ut it is also ill conceived.”

“Laws like Arizona’s put huge pressures on local law enforcement to enforce rules that ultimately are unenforceable,” the president said. “It puts pressure on already hard-strapped state and local budgets. It makes it difficult for people here illegally to report crimes -– driving a wedge between communities and law enforcement, making our streets more dangerous and the jobs of our police officers more difficult.”

"We strongly agree with the President that Arizona's SB 1070 and similar initiatives in other states are ill conceived, and with his assertion that one clear national standard, not a patchwork of state and local rules, is what our nation needs,” said Erol Kekic of CWS.

Kekic further urged the president to terminate such programs as the ‘Secure Communities’ initiative and 287(g), which obligate local police to enforce federal immigration laws, and to suspend the deportations of non-criminals until “humane immigration reform” is enacted.

Just hours after the president finished his speech, Obama administration officials were presented with a letter signed by over 600 leaders from evangelical and mainline Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh traditions.

“As Americans and people of faith, we are strongly committed to the safety and security of our nation, policies that ensure economic prosperity, and fair labor practices for all workers,” the group’s letter reads.


The group further pressed the president to convene a bipartisan summit on immigration reform, similar to the one that was held for health care in February.

“We believe this summit is necessary for lawmakers to discuss common and differing viewpoints on structuring the legislation,” they said. “It would also fulfill your pledge to all Americans to provide workable solutions that fix our broken immigration system.”

The group’s letter is part of a month-long effort that they’ve named “Justice July,” which will include prayer and fasting vigils and sermons across the country highlighting the importance of immigration reform.

"We urge President Obama to vigorously advocate passage of comprehensive immigration reform this year,” Dr. Diane Steinman, co-chair of the New York State Interfaith Network for Immigration Reform said in a statement.

“Our current system violates the moral values of our nation and of our nation's diverse faith communities,” she added.

“Politics cannot be allowed to stand in the way of reform, and faith community leaders are prepared to be his partners in the effort."
