\nAs reported<\/a> in today’s Washington Examiner<\/i>, the National Right to Work Committee President Mark Mix sent a letter<\/a> to the U.S. Senate opposing Elena Kagan’s confirmation as a Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court for misrepresenting her views regarding the use of forced union dues for union boss political activity.\n<\/p>\n

\nFrom the Examiner<\/a><\/i>:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t(Mark Mix argues) Kagan should not be confirmed because when she was asked by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-UT, about a 1996 email she wrote while serving in the Clinton administration, she falsely claimed she was merely repeating the chief executive’s views, not her own.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his letter to the senators, Mix quoted Kagan’s email in which she said:\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t"It is unfortunately true that almost any meaningful campaign finance reform proposal raises constitutional issues. This is a result of the Supreme Court’s view – which I believe to be mistaken in many cases – that money is speech and that attempts to limit the influence of money on our political system therefore raises First Amendment problems."\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tKagan could not have simply been echoing somebody else’s view in that email, Mix argued, because a memo later in 1996 from her and other White House staff members to then-White House chief of staff Leon Panetta "incorporated Ms. Kagan’s argument that the First Amendment does not protect the right to spend money for political activities. In short, in 1996 Ms. Kagan both suggested and endorsed that crabbed view of the First Amendment."\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nThe National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has repeatedly<\/a> fought to protect workers who are forced to pay union dues and fees as a condition of employment to also support union boss political activities with which they disagree before the U.S. Supreme Court and various other courts<\/a> across the country.\n<\/p>\n

\nMark Mix’s letter also noted<\/a> that Kagen expressed opposition to the Foundation’s Supreme Court victory in Communications Workers v. Beck<\/i><\/a> in which the Court affirmed the right of private-sector workers to exercise the same freedom from coerced support of union boss politics under the National Labor Relations Act:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t(Ms. Kagan) recommended that President Clinton oppose any legislation protecting the right of workers not to be forced to subsidize union politics, despite the First Amendment\u2019s guarantee of that basic worker freedom of speech and association.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t…\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tMs. Kagan emailed\u2026 her recommendation that (the Administration)\u2026 \u201cstate strong opposition to Beck<\/u> legislation, no matter what it is attached to.\u201d\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tMs. Kagan\u2026 disagreed with the well-established legal principle that underlies the long line of Supreme Court decisions recognizing the constitutional right of workers not to be compelled to subsidize union political activities as a condition of employment\u2026 (putting) her far outside the judicial mainstream and (demonstrating) a disdain for the rights of independent-minded American workers.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
