Dear Friend:

I wanted to let you know about the recent claims that Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was involved in drafting a legal defense of Obamacare (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) when she was Solicitor General of the United States. Supreme Court Justice Kagan was nominated by President Obama and confirmed to the high court by the Democrat controlled Senate in 2010.

"Recent claims that Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was involved in crafting a legal defense of Obamacare as Solicitor General are deeply disturbing. Given these claims, how can any reasonable person believe that Justice Kagan can be impartial in her consideration of any case involving Obamacare before the Supreme Court?  I also find it troubling that groups investigating this matter have been stonewalled by the Justice Department. Americans have a legitimate right to know whether or not Justice Kagan's involvement in Obamacare warrants a recusal from any Obamacare case that comes before the Supreme Court," said Congressman Fleming.

Congressman Fleming added, "If Obamacare is such a great law like President Obama claims, then why should a legal defense need to be crafted? Why do scores of waivers need to be issued and why do more than two dozen states have legal challenges against the law pending in the courts? The reason of course is that Obamacare is unconstitutional and should never have been enacted in the first place. As a practicing physician for over 30 years, I can see firsthand the devastating effect this law is already having on both patients and doctors. Obamacare needs to be defunded, repealed, and replaced with free market solutions that put the patient first." 

Dr. John Fleming is Chairman of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans and Insular Affairs and is a member of the House Armed Services Committee. He is a physician and small business owner and represents the 4th Congressional District of Louisiana.


Sincerely, 

JOHN FLEMING, M.D.
Member of Congress
