Andrew McCarthy: Elena Kagan's 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' Sharia Policy - '...let's compare the U.S. military with sharia. Sharia is the cause of indescribable suffering in the world: for homosexuals, women, non-Muslims, and Muslims who wish to embrace the West. Yet for Kagan, sharia's repugnance is irrelevant. Like opposition to DADT and support for abortion, the engagement of Islamists, the embrace of their case against American capitalism, is a progressive cause célèbre. So count Ms. Kagan in. She'll worry about logic and sharia victims like Sakineh Ashtiani later -- if ever. Sheer political willfulness is an unattractive quality. In a Supreme Court candidate, it ought to be disqualifying.'
