SEN. SESSIONS LIES ABOUT ELENA KAGAN, ABC DOESN'T QUESTION HIM

On ABC's "This Week," Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-GA) made a stink about Kagan's tenure as Dean of Harvard Law School, falsely claiming that Kagan "violated the law" by not allowing military recruiting on the Harvard Law School campus. This is incorrect. In 2003, Kagan let military recruiters back on campus because of the threat of Harvard losing 100s of millions in Federal funding due to the Solomon amendment. This reversed a 25 year ban. When a Federal Appeals court struck down the amendment, Kagan re-instated the ban. In 2004, the Supreme Court overturned the Appellate court and Kagan dutifully annulled the ban on recruiters.
