I found this interesting story on Elena Kagan<\/a> on CNN’s religion blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… She recalled paying a courtesy call on Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho)<\/a> shortly after her nomination to the court by President Obama<\/a> in May 2010. \u00a0Risch asked her about gun rights, and remarked she may not realize how important the issue was to some Americans, especially in his home state. \u00a0She admitted never having owned or fired a gun before. \u00a0“But I told the senator if I was fortunate enough to be confirmed, I would go hunting with Justice Scalia<\/a>.” \u00a0And she has, joining her conservative colleague on an excursion to a Washington-area shooting range and on several hunting trips, until now never reported. \u00a0Her host at the synagogue event was surprised. \u00a0“You’re Jewish,” deadpanned Rabbi Mitchell Wohlberg. \u00a0“Yeah, but it turns out, it’s kind of fun,” said Kagan, laughing.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
