Message from the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism following the May 17th Faith Community Conference Call  which they co-hosted along with the United Methodist Church - General Board of Church and Society.

 
The Supreme Court has an impact on nearly all of the issues of importance to our communities. Regardless of whether you (or your organization) ultimately take a position on Solicitor General Kagan’s confirmation, we encourage you to be involved in the process of reviewing her record to determine whether, as a Supreme Court Justice, she will protect our fundamental values.

As Rabbi Saperstein mentioned, there are various resources available to help you educate yourselves and your community about Solicitor General Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court and the judicial nominations process:

1) Read the Alliance for Justice’s  5-page report  on Solicitor General Kagan’s background and record.

2) Read SCOTUSblog.com. This increasingly indispensible site has been featuring insightful and interesting posts on Solicitor General Kagan’s record and the policy issues that are the focus of the debate about her nomination.

3) Visit www.rac.org/judnoms
 
  1. Submit questions that you want members of the Senate Judiciary Committee will ask Solicitor General Kagan at www.AskElenaKagan.com.
  2. Download a one-page fact sheet about the Judicial Nominations process and how you can have an impact. Read it and use it to educate others.
  3. Browse the RAC’s programs on Judicial Nominations for youth and adults, which can be easily adapted for use in any community.
  4. Read the RACblog — look for the “Focus on the Court” logo, which designates blog posts related to the federal judiciary.
