Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said today that he does “not believe it was acceptable” for Elena Kagan to ban military recruiters from Harvard because she disagreed with then-President Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.
On CNN, Sessions said “we need to explore” whether Kagan will apply the Constitution faithfully, because “there is a philosophy afoot” in some law schools “that judges have the power and the duty to expand the law to divine cultural and social conditions.”
“That, to me, is unacceptable,” he said.
And, picking up a line of attack that many other Republicans are adopting, Sessions said he disagreed with Kagan’s decision to ban military recruiters from the Harvard law school campus during her tenure as dean.
“She felt that this was discriminatory,” he said, but “I do not believe it was acceptable” for her to enact a ban.
