gillian: here with some analysis is kerry sebarino, and elizabeth widerow. ladies, thank you for being here. wonderful to have you. carrie, first question is for you. friday, the white house decides to announce that they re going to withhold about 100,000 pages of documents that comprise a sizable chunk of kavanaugh s record from his time at the white house. what is in these that is so sensitive or damming that the administration decided to hide them from the american people? any document review those be done with respect to the president s privileges that are being maintained and that s true of this nominee and every other one. so it s just when it got to the end of it, we heard which pages were being withheld. when they re sensitive discussions, a lot of them had to do with vetting of judges, et cetera, if they disclose all that, then every other president is going to not be able to speak freely with his own staff. this is a very typical thing.
harvard wasn t one of them but when dean kagan signed on individually to a brief that went all the way to the supreme court, that group, including kagan lost in a unanimous decision. kagan respected that she had to allow recruiters on campus but did express regret to that. in a memo she wrote, quote, i believe the military s discriminatory employment policy is deeply wrong, both unwise and unjust. jane? jane: her critics say it s not just about the don t ask don t tell policy, they say they think there s a bigger problem. what do they mean? they re worried that kagan is not going to give what the judicial branch is often given in the military when it comes to its own pollises and that s deference. here s what kerry sebarino of the jucial department says. this is a concern not because of only the disrespect at the time of war but this is an indication where she may have let her ideological beliefs of the don t ask don t tell policy cloud her
