New documents suggest Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan involved with
crafting legal defense of ObamaCare
From the Daily Caller
Emails between Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan and members of the
Obama Administration reveal she was more involved with President Obama's
health-care law than was disclosed previously. The documents likely will
lead to a revival of questions about whether the Kagan should recuse
herself from future cases.
Specifically, the documents show that Kagan was involved with crafting the legal defense of the Affordable Care Act in her role as solicitor general, before her appointment to the bench. The Media Research Center and Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that was filed in February 2011.
In an email dated Jan. 8, 2010, then-Deputy Solicitor General Neal Katyal sent an email to Senior Counsel Brian Hauck and Deputy Attorney General Thomas Perrelli that indicates Kagan played a key role in coming up with a legal defense.
"Brian, Elena would definitely like OSG [Office of Solicitor General] to be involved in this set of issues ... we will bring Elena as needed."
