Senators Do Ask and Sometimes Kagan Don't Tell

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan admitted she personally decided to make it much harder for military leaders to recruit on campus at Harvard due to her feelings about the Clinton Administration's "don't ask don't tell policy" in the military. Not one senator bothered to ask President Obama's nominee if she had also banned the military from rushing to Harvard's defense in case of a terrorist attack. When asked if her political views would affect her legal judgment, she said they wouldn't. It was all very interesting posturing by all the participants on Capitol Hill yesterday. Read details of the second day of her testimony here.
