Jack,

We have the "smoking gun" proving why Justice Elena Kagan simply must recuse herself from the upcoming ObamaCare Supreme Court hearings...

On March 21, the same day that the House of Representatives finally passed ObamaCare, then-Solicitor General Elena Kagan engaged in an email exchange with Lawrence Tribe. Tribe is a renowned liberal Harvard law professor whom the New York Times calls a "liberal legal icon" and "Obama's mentor and former teacher." At the time of the email exchange, Tribe was serving in a specially created capacity in the Justice Department called "Senior Counsel for Access to Justice."

The email exchange all happened under the subject line, "fingers and toes crossed today!" -- clearly indicating that both Tribe and Kagan were discussing with great anticipation the imminent passage of ObamaCare.

At 11:39am, Kagan emailed Tribe:

"I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing."

Note Kagan's over-emphasis (two exclamation points) and her gleeful language ("simply amazing").

By late afternoon, ObamaCare was passed, causing Tribe to reply by email:

"So health care is basically done! Remarkable. And with the Stupak group accepting the magic of what amounts to a signing statement on steriods!"

Note that the exclamation points are all Tribe's. He is just as amazed and thrilled as Kagan and even seems gleeful about the fast-one they pulled on Stupak and other pro-life Democrats.

Go here to see the actual "smoking gun" emails that demand Kagan's recusal from the ObamaCare case (you will find it in the right side of the copy):

Why does this matter?

First, the Obama team managed to bury the evidence of this "smoking gun" for months. A thorough vetting of Kagan's role in ObamaCare could have forced her to pledge to recuse herself from this case in order to get confirmed.

Second, it clearly shows that Kagan -- as Solicitor General -- had a rooting interest in the passage of ObamaCare. She supported the bill and seemed joyful at the bill's passage. And as the Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) has carefully documented, Kagan engaged her department in the strategy to defend ObamaCare in court “before [ObamaCare] had even been signed into law.” JCN also tracks how Kagan was involved in the “deliberative process” for her office’s legal defense of ObamaCare.
