Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination is becoming contentious because of tensions over sensitive documents related to her past career.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.), ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has asked the Department of Defense for all records related to its efforts to recruit at Harvard Law School while Kagan served as dean.
Sessions criticized Kagan in a floor speech last week for barring military recruiters after she became dean in 2003
“She gave big law firms full access to recruit bright young associates, but obstructed the access of the military as it tried to recruit bright young JAG officers to support and represent our soldiers as they risked their lives for our country,” said Sessions. “It was an unjustifiable decision,” he said.
