Possible Blow to SCOTUS Prospects for Obamacare?

CNSNews reports that 49 members of the House of Representatives are calling for a judicial committee investigation into Supreme Court Justice (I shiver every time I see that in writing) Elena Kagan's work while with the administration in preparing a legal defense to Obamacare while Solicitor General to President Obama. Specifically, they are citing to documents recently uncovered pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request which may contradict her testimony regarding role during her confirmation hearings in the Senate. The FOIA request has met with a great deal of resistance by the administration (the most open administration since Kim Jong Il's) and the full disclosure of documents does not appear to have been released over a year later. If the documents do contradict her testimony, she shouldn't just abstain from any Supreme Court hearings on Obamacare, she should resign as a perjuror.
