Both Conservatives and liberals have their concerns about Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan. Senior editor for Slate, Emily Bazelon, explains that the left worries that she is too untested, while the right worries that she is too "gay friendly." This is based on a fight about the government's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy, when law schools didn't allow military recruiters to come to schools.
