The Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Jeff Sessions, R-AL, seized on Elena Kagan’s role in prohibiting military recruiting on Harvard's campus during her tenure as the dean of Harvard Law School in an exclusive "This Week" interview and called it “no little-bitty matter.” He insisted that Kagan was not only wrong in her decision, but broke the law. Sessions was joined by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Patrick Leahy, D-VT, who called the issue “sound and fury signifying nothing.”
The controversy revolves around Kagan’s decision to prohibit military recruiting directly on the law school’s campus because the military’s “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy, prohibiting gays from openly serving in the armed forces, violated Harvard Law School’s anti-discrimination policy. When the Supreme Court ruled that a law tying federal funding of schools to military recruiting was constitutional, Kagan allowed military recruiting on campus on Harvard again so the school wouldn’t lose funding.
Asked about the issue by host Jake Tapper, Sessions said, “This is no little-bitty matter, Jake. She would not let them come to the area that does the recruiting on the campus. They had to meet with some student veterans, and this is not acceptable. It was a big error,” he said. “That went on for a number of years. It was a national issue. People still remember the debate about it.”

Especially an America-hating, military-hating Marxist.
Funny how they don’t want the military on campus but every cross-dressing, pro-welfare state freak is welcome all day long.
Or someone so damn ugly.
BORK THIS BEYATCH!
We/they. . .certainly know 'who'/what Obama is and have clear idea to his anti-America agenda and what he wishes to be; Elena's role to facilitate such.
Which leads me to ask. . .how is it that ANYone - of the 'morally-reasoned' - can support this nominee?
Cannot even bear to listen to the 'light patter' re Kagan; so thrown off to public as if we lived in an alternate universe.
Beck aside; has any of the 'legitimate journalists'/analysts at Fox News gone here?
Only Newt that I can find.
Kagan doesn’t give a rat’s a$$ about the Constitution. And the law is what she and her friends on the left SAY it is.
Get it?
Thans. . .Good for Newt. Maybe Krauthammer next? Should be standard script/sigh.
