==Work for former President Bill Clinton==
As a result of a request by senators who will vote on her nomination, the [[Associated Press]] reported that 90,000 pages of records from the Clinton White House were released which reveal that Kagan played a role in crafting former [[President Bill Clinton]]’s policies on abortion, gun control, welfare reform and tobacco. In addition, they also show that Kagan was part of Clinton's small army of lawyers which unsuccessfully sought to postpone Paula Jones’ sexual harassment lawsuit against him. As a result of her work, Clinton sought to gain her a seat on the federal appeals court in Washington, often a steppingstone to the Supreme Court, an appointment which the Republican-controlled Senate opposed. In response to Kagan's note of thanks, the former President stated, "I was honored to nominate you - you will be a wonderful judge if we can get you through - and young enough to have a profound impact."<ref>[http://dailycaller.com/2010/06/12/documents-show-kagan-a-political-pragmatist/print/ Kagan had role in Clinton White House’s big fights], 06/12/10</ref>
