The House Judiciary Committee is conducting a probe with regard to Elana Kagan’s testimony in front of congress during her confirmation hearings.  So far Ms. Kagan has refused to recluse herself from Supreme Court hearings regarding Obamacare:

The stated goal of the probe is to determine whether or not she should recluse herself.  But a more important issue may be whether or not Ms. Kagan committed perjury.  If Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds were put on trial for lying to congress, why should Ms. Kagan get a free pass?

Note the following sentence in the letter sent to the House Judiciary Committee:

“Contradictory to her 2010 confirmation testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, recently released Department of Justice (DOJ) documents indicate that Justice Kagan actively participated with her Obama Administration colleagues in formulating a defense of PPACA.”

 In other words, Kagan lied.  Lying before congress is a felony.  (See Clemens & Bonds above)  Should a nominee for the Supreme Court be held to a lower standard than a baseball player?
