It's not as if Obama himself is talking about restricting access to documents which would shed light on Elena Kagan's outlook on matters which may come before her on the supreme Court. No, her opinions on various subjects were written when she was working for President Clinton. He's the one who might prevent Senators from examining her record as part of the "advice and consent" portion of her nomination. Because suddenly Clinton is concerned about a violation of his Executive Priveleges if you get a look at the bench memos she wrote.
The people who have looked at them are saying she is a 'liberal' and this is causing an amusing reaction. People who would in years past have called themselves liberals are saying calling Kagan a liberal is an attack, and an insult. Remember: when you question what someone has said and/or done, and it puts a Communist/Socialist/Leftist in a bad light, it is a vicious attack.
And, in case the Kagan supporters on your local call-in radio show all start to sound the same, just remember that it's because OFA has (literally) put out talking points for them to parrot; they didn't actually all swoon for her at once.
Because there is no Internet, and you could never learn about these things, there is no possible chance of a public outcry or backlash.
Oh, wait. . .
