Clinton Library Releases Thousands Of Kagan Documents

[one_voice]

The Clinton Library this afternoon released thousands of documents related to Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's service on President Clinton's Domestic Policy Council in the 1990s, including memos related to hot-button issues of abortion and gays serving in the military.

One nugget we found was an argument from outside groups for making birth control a commonplace item covered by insurance. Several groups were writing Kagan, then-chief of staff John Podesta and others about the issue. Her handwritten notes appear throughout the batch (found here), and at one point on a June 1998 note, she made a notation about the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Later in the batch of memos is a David Broder column on the issue. Then as you can see below, an exchange between Kagan and another staffer.
