Conflict of Interest? Obama Stonewalls on Kagan’s Role in ObamaCare
Fraud is the lingua franca of politics, a language cultivated and refined by generations of corrupt officials, grifters, and perjurers, but only a truly gifted practitioner can allow one unethical action to prepare the way for another. Only a master on the level of Barack Obama can align potentially illegal actions like chess moves, one deftly laying the groundwork for the next. The Justice Department has refused to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made by CNSNews.com last May 25. As this author has noted, the administration appears to be selectively enforcing the law on FOIA requests, as with virtually everything else. While the administration rushes to provide liberals with the documents they request, it has delayed or denied conservative organizations like Judicial Watch, The Washington Times, and the English First Foundation.
Tired of such treatment, the Media Research Center has filed suit against the department. It seems clear why the administration may be wary of answering the CNSNews request: The news site seeks to determine whether Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is legally bound to recuse herself from hearing any case concerning ObamaCare. Kagan served as Obama’s solicitor general before being appointed to the Supreme Court last May. Her tenure in the administration included Obama’s signing of his health care reform bill. Two courts, in Virginia and Florida, have found this law unconstitutional, and the cases are sure to land before the High Court.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
