Groups Suggest Questions For Kagan On Establishment and Free Exercise

A release yesterday from the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism reports that 21 religious and secular organizations have sent a joint letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee suggesting questions that should be asked during the Elena Kagan hearings on the Supreme Court nominee's views on the First Amendment religion clauses. Among other things, the five questions focus on instituitonal as well as individual religious liberty concerns, questions of taxpayer standing and the nominee's broader views about the Court's religion clause jurisprudence.
