Hatch and the others say they are troubled that Kagan, as dean of the Harvard Law School would not let recruiters on campus because she sees the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy as discriminatory. Writes Davidson:
In other words, to gain their votes, these Senators insist that a nominee explicitly support discrimination against LGBT people.
With a vote of the full Senate expected this week, we are seeing even more sputtering incredulity from certain senators that a Supreme Court nominee dares to consider LGBT people deserving of fair treatment.
Out the window goes Orrin's support in the gay community.
Hatch, of course, says his objection is simply that Kagan doesn’t have the experience or the correct judicial outlook for the highest court.
