Senator Orrin Hatch, a member of the Senate Judiciary committee has asked for constituent input regarding what questions he should ask Obama nominee Elena Kagan. Here is my input:• You have never served as a judge. Instead, much of your career has been as an unelected political advisor. How will your judicial decisions be based on, or influenced by, politics?
• How will your judicial decisions be based on, or influenced by, your personal beliefs?
• How much room in your judicial decisions will there be for the application of fairness?
• How much room in your judicial decisions will there be for the application of empathy?
• How much room in your judicial decisions will there be for the application of compassion?
• How will your judicial decisions be based on, or influenced by, international law or laws in other nations?
• How will your judicial decisions be based on, or influenced by, judicial precedents?
• How will your judicial decisions be based on, or influenced by, the writings of the founders such as the Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist papers?
• How will your judicial decisions be based on, or influenced by, original intent of the US Constitution?
