WASHINGTON, D.C. --- Today the Judicial Crisis Network urged the Obama administration, The Clinton Presidential Library and the national archives to expedite the process of releasing all of Elena Kagan's documents from her service in the Clinton administration. Requests for these records were made as far back as two months ago. From 1995 to 1999, Kagan served as President Bill Clinton's Associate White House Counsel and Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy and Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council.
"Kagan's lack of an extensive record, judicial experience and limited writings are troublesome and the public should be allowed to review all her writings from her time in the Clinton administration," said Carrie Severino chief counsel and policy director to the Judicial Crisis Network.
"With the leak of the May 13, 1997 memo concerning abortion from the White House domestic policy office, Kagan supporters have already begun a process of selective disclosure in an attempt to throw crumbs of information to the public, while sweeping the rest under the rug. Only with immediate and full disclosure will there be the time to review her complete record under President Clinton," said Severino, "the American people deserve no less."
