The issue here is that Kagan has no history as a judge in her own right. So the Republicans are "noting" her past as a clerk to a judge who they disagree with. The clerk often learns her judicial philosophy at the feet of her mentor.
It's all just a ploy to be able to say the words "Kagan" and "Judicial Activism" in the same paragraph.
