Supreme Court Nomination Troubles

By: Zane Kuhlman

This article on Solicitor General Elena Kagan’s Military Policy, states that she banned Army recruitment on the Havard campus during her time as dean. She made the Army recruiters go to a different area than other recruiters and reversed the policy allowing them to go everywhere on campus to recruit. She reportedly denied them access due to the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy. Newt Gringrich voiced his opinion on the matter stating “And that is an act so unbecoming of an American that she should be disqualified from the very beginning.” Should Kagan be denied confirmation to the Supreme Court because of her view on the Military? I think that it is something that should be seriously considered during the confirmation process.
