Don't ask, and I won't tell you about Elena Kagan's apparent inconsistency when it comes to protecting gay rights

Is the effort to get rid of "Don't ask, don't tell" really the "Bring back the draft act"? Frank Gaffney explores issues of "the impact of repeal [of the law] on morale, discipline, unit cohesion and overall military readiness" here.

In another related article here at Town Hall, Gaffney writes that Senate Judiciary member Jeff Sessions plans to ask Obama's Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan about her failure to oppose efforts to bring Shariah law to America. How is that related to "Don't ask, don't tell"? On the one hand Kagan appears to have been a supporter of "gay rights" when she led the effort to keep military recruiters off the Harvard campus, but she did not lift a finger to oppose Harvard's acceptance of $20,000,000 from the Saudi royal family to establish a center for the study of Islam and Shariah law. Shariah law, of course, advocates the death or flogging of homosexuals.
