President Obama’s Solicitor General Nominee Elena Kagan

During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama stated that students should be given the opportunity on campuses to join the military.  HOWEVER, now he has appoined Elena Kagan for Solicitor General who has submitted two amici curiae (Friend of the court) briefs AGAINST military recruitments on campuses.  She is currently the Dean of Harvard Law School and believes the military should be banned from campus.  The Solomon Amendment requires that students have access to military opportunities.  She fought all the way to the Supreme Court to invalidate the Amendment and deny students the right to serve. 

Elena Kagan has called military recruiting policy “discriminatory,” “deeply wrong,” “unwise,” and “unjust.” - Letter from Dean Kagan on military recruiting, September 20, 2005. 

Please weigh in with Congressman who sit on the Judiciary Committee.
