WASHINGTON (CBS) - The National Rifle Association is opposing Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court and warning senators that it will take their votes into account when considering endorsing their re-election.
La organización estadounidense National Rifle Association (NRA) se opone a la nominación de Elena Kagan como nueva jueza del Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos y le advierte a los senadores que estarán monitoreando sus votos para cuando se considere otorgarle el endoso para su reelección.
In a letter sent to leading senators Thursday, top NRA officials say Kagan has "repeatedly demonstrated a clear hostility" to gun rights in her career in government and academia.
Durante su carrera en el ámbito universitario y en el gobierno, la Sra. Kagan ha demostrado una clara hostilidad hacia el derecho a tener y portar armas.
The NRA also opposed Justice Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation last year. Sotomayor was among the four dissenters in the high court's decision last week that limits state and local gun restrictions.
La NRA se opuso a la confirmación de la jueza Sonia Sotomayor el año pasado. Sotomayor estuvo entre los cuatro jueces cuya opinión disidente iba en contra de la decisión del Tribunal Supremo que limita las restricciones a las armas que pueden implementar los gobiernos estatales y locales en sus jurisdicciones.
Kagan emerged from three days of vetting by the Senate Judiciary Committee much as she had begun, declaring she'd be an independent and impartial judge and denying Republican suggestions that she would be unable to separate her political leanings from her job as a justice.
