Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is emerging as one of the loudest voices of opposition to Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, claiming her decision to protest the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy while Dean of the Harvard Law School disqualifies her fro the high court.
“I think the president should withdraw it,” he told Fox News Sunday this morning, when asked about Kagan’s nomination.
At an NRA convention in Charlotte, NC earlier in the weekend, Gingrich spelled out his opposition to Kagan, and called on the Senate not to confirm her.
“I say to the Senate, you do not need hearings,” he told the NRA crowd. “You know why she’s not worthy of being a Supreme Court justice.”
