Jewish Clergy Group: Elena Kagan Isn't 'Kosher' to Serve on Supreme Court

(CNSNews.com) – Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is "not kosher" -- 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."
 
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 – from a concept of a nation of priests and holy people, she is turning it into, 'Let's homosexualize every segment of society. And by the way, partial-birth babies have no right to be delivered.'"
 
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.
 
"It 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," the rabbis said in the statement.
 
Levin told CNSNews.com that his fellow rabbis – and hundreds of thousands of Orthodox and traditional Jews – are puzzled at the president's choice of Kagan.
 
"What exactly was Obama thinking, President Obama thinking, when he nominated Kagan? Because eventually, down the road, someone -- or some group -- is going to 'take the hit' for the crazy decisions that Kagan is bound to make. So we would have much preferred if President Obama had given this 'distinction' to another minority group, instead of singling out the Jews."
 
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.
 
'We're waiting for the more courageous, decent senators – whether it's a (Sen.) Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) or a (Sen.) Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) or a (Sen.) Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) – we're looking for them to stand up and filibuster this embarrassing endangerment of a nomination," 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.

Haha great post Joey!

Funny, even these rabbis don't want a foul Jew like Kagan jewing up American with her sickness and authoritarianism or this is a pre-emptive action to distance themselves, wash their hands of this if you will, because they know what is coming and it concerns them

Problem is that the guy acts like he does not know that it's his own people pushing these agendas. In one of the videos against homosexuality, he actually quotes the Talmud....what an oxymoron!


bottom line is: I don't trust anything these people say, it's all

For some reason I didn't think Kagen was kosher.  Putting Kagen on the supreme court would be like a mohel sucking the blood from a baby's penis with a straw, you know what I mean? It would be like using Christian blood to make bread, and then putting yeast in it.  It would be like performing ritual sacrifice of unarmed civilians, and then apologizing for it.  It's just not kosher.
