Tony Perkins' Testimony on Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Family Research Council President Tony Perkins is scheduled
testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on President Barack
Obama's nomination of former Harvard law school president Elena Kagan for the
U.S. Supreme Court. He will give testimony on her attempt to deny military
recruiters access to Harvard due to current military policy banning open
homosexuality in the military.

Perkins' prepared remarks before the Senate Judiciary Committee include:

"As one who has spent a number of years in uniform, as a Marine and a police
officer, my remarks will focus primarily on Ms Kagan's treatment of military
recruiters at Harvard Law School.




"As has been pointed out while Dean of the law school she defied the
requirements of a federal law, known as the Solomon Amendment. Her violation
of this federal law was motivated by her vehement opposition to the military's
prohibition against open homosexuality.

"This protracted incident, combined with the just made public report of her
re-writing of the medical findings of ACOG on partial birth abortion as advisor
in the Clinton White House, raises doubts as to whether she possesses the
requisite judicial temperament and impartial nature required of a Supreme Court
justice.

"We do not need a justice on the Supreme Court who sees it as her life mission
to write the homosexual version of Roe v. Wade by striking down one-man,
one-woman marriage across America. These positions and the temperament
accompanying them make her unfit to sit as an associate justice on the Supreme
Court. I urge the Senate to reject her nomination."
