<li><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">As a clerk working for Supreme Court Justice Marshall, Kagan authored a memo arguing that virtually all federal funding should be excluded from programs offered by religious organizations -- whether the program was religious in nature or not. Her record suggests she will further limit the freedom of religion and religious expression. <br /></span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">While serving as the Dean of Harvard Law School, Kagan barred the military from recruiting on campus because of their “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">”</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> policy. She called the military’s rule “a profound wrong — a moral injustice of the first order.” <br /></span></span></li>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">CatholicVote.org believes the Supreme Court needs members who understand the Constitution and the limits it places on our government. If anything, the Court needs courageous men and women willing to reign in a runaway government which attempts to legislate every area of our lives. <br /><br />We have zero confidence that Solicitor General Kagan will be such a judge. <br /><br />The lifetime appointment of a Supreme Court Justice is among the most consequential powers that a President has. At age 50, Elena Kagan could serve on the Supreme Court for decades to come. <br /><br />We will publicly oppose her nomination, and will urge Senators of both parties to use her upcoming hearings as an opportunity to educate voters on the proper role of judges, and respect for our Constitution. <br /><br /><strong><br />Elections Matter</strong> <br /><br />The nomination of Elena Kagan should not come as a surprise. <br /><br />President Obama is merely following through on his promise to reshape the country, including the Supreme Court. Who we vote for in November has a major impact on the Supreme Court. After all, Justices are nominated by Presidents and confirmed by Senators. Elections have consequences. And this November, we will not forget. <br /><br />Together we will fight for the day when every nominee to the Supreme Court is worthy of the title 'Justice.'<br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Brian Burch <br />President <br /><br /><span style="font-size:11px;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /></span></span></span></span></p>
