Kagan shielded Saudis from 9/11 lawsuit | WND
Were this a conservative holding these views and found to have supported the Saudi’s in a long awaited and emotionally draining lawsuit filed by the thousands of victims of the handiwork of the Saudi born hijackers that destroyed tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives that day and forward the liberals would go to no ends to make sure that not only this person not be given the chance to sit for life on the Supreme Court but would try to ruin their life while doing it .
We don’t want this woman’s life to be ruined over this nomination again as most liberals would love to see happen to a conservative nominee, we just don’t want her on the Supreme Court where her decisions can effect the lives of Americans for the next 100 years when she couldn’t even side with Americans and the law after 911 she can’t be trusted to do it any other time either.
NEW YORK – President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, helped shield Saudi Arabia from lawsuits filed by families of 9/11 victims seeking to target countries and leaders who helped finance al-Qaida.
WASHINGTON - MAY 12: U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Solicitor General Elena Kagan arrives for meetings with Senators at the U.S. Capitol May 12, 2010 in Washington, DC. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, the former Harvard Law School dean would be the first justice to join the high court without prior judicial experience since William Rehnquist in 1972.

“I’m very concerned about her views on executive power and her views with respect to the separation of power,” Stephen A. Cozen, the lead attorney in the case for 9/11 victims, told WND.
“I believe she must be asked questions about whether or not citizens who are attacked inside the U.S. have the right to file suits domestically against terrorism financiers,” said Cozen, the founder and chairman of Cozen O’Connor, a Philadelphia-based law firm with 24 offices throughout the country.

Cozen recounted to WND an April 2009 meeting he held with Kagan to present the case for his clients – thousands of family members and others affected by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks who sought damages from the Saudi kingdom, Saudi high commissioners and the country’s rulers.
Cozen’s suit documented evidence the Saudis funneled millions of dollars to al-Qaida prior to the 9/11 attacks and that the kingdom continued to finance terrorism thereafter.
He was arguing to bring his case to the Supreme Court after it was dismissed by a lower court and an appeals circuit, which had cited the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 as barring lawsuits against leaders of foreign governments.
Cozen, however, documented how both the Supreme Court and U.S. government briefs allowed for such lawsuits in the past, finding the Immunities Act did not hold in similar cases.
Kagan’s friend-of-the-court brief argued Cozen’s case would interfere with U.S. foreign policy. She urged the Supreme Court not to hear the case.
