Where does Elena Kagan - Supreme Court nominee - stand on the issues?
That's a difficult question to answer because Kagan has no record of jurisprudence and last appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee when nominated as US Solicitor Gener…al, a position advocating the interests of the United States. In her confirmation hearings Kagan successfully convinced the Senate she would support the government's position on any given case regardless of her personal beliefs about the issue being tried. As nominee for the US Supreme Court, Kagan espouses a constitutional interpretation that respects precedents and opposes judicial activism as a means of promoting social justice. Some progressives are concerned that her beliefs are much more conservative than Justice Stevens' and that she will tilt the court farther to the right.

According to bits and pieces gleaned from various relatively centrist sources, Kagan's stand on some of the issues are purportedly as follows: .
Objects to the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy .
As dean of Harvard Law School, attempted to have military recruiters banned from Harvard campus. .
Supported "battlefield law," which would allow indefinite detention of terrorism suspects without benefit of trial .
