“Mr. President, since Ms. Kagan was nominated, President Obama and his administration have attempted to defend not only her discriminatory treatment of the military at Harvard but to do so through misleading and even untrue statements. Indeed, Vice President Biden said Ms. Kagan's policy was ``right,'' and he suggested she was merely following the law, both of which were not correct. The recent statements made by the White House after the release late Friday of relevant records on this matter are most troubling. The records not only prove Ms. Kagan deliberately obstructed military activity at the Harvard campus during wartime, but they reveal her actions were even more concerning than previously known. The White House continues to insist she worked to accommodate military recruiters--which is just the opposite of accurate--that she assiduously worked to follow the law--not so--and to ensure that Harvard law students could choose a career in the military service. Well, I guess they could, but she certainly was not furthering that opportunity. The documents revealed late Friday night show these statements are not accurate and really seem to be part of a campaign to rewrite what happened there. The documents show that Ms. Kagan reversed Harvard's policy--which allowed the military to come and recruit, as any other group would--without basis or notice, in order to block the access of the recruiters, not to accommodate them. That is not disputed. It shouldn't be disputed.…”
