One of the main lines of attack that Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee have deployed against Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court is her clerkship under under Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American justice. They have had no qualms about blasting the civil rights legend, with Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) attacking Kagan’s association “with well-known activist judges who have used their power to redefine the meaning of our Constitution.” On Monday alone, Republicans mentioned Marshall 35 times during the hearing. By comparison, President Obama’s name was uttered only 14 times.
But today, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) went further than merely criticizing Marshall, telling ABC’s Top Line that he has “no idea” whether he would have voted to confirm Marshall, even while knowing his “entire record as a justice”:
KARL: How would you have voted, knowing all that you know — I mean, now you know his entire record as a justice — would you have voted no on a Thurgood Marshall nomination?
COBURN: I have no idea. I don’t know his writings. I think that’s an important part of her history, but not as important the two things that I just mentioned
Watch it:
Coburn joins fellow Judiciary Committee member Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), who said yesterday that it was “hard to say” whether he would have supported Marshall. As Salon’s Steve Kornacki noted, “That’s a rather stunning statement when you consider the dynamics of Marshall’s 1967 confirmation.” Only 11 senators voted against Marshall, and their opposition “had everything to do with race — and, more specifically, with lingering white Southern resentment of the court’s 1954 school desegregation ruling (in which Marshall, as the NAACP’s chief counsel, had played a leading role).” All 11 were White and Southern, and most had signed the “Southern Manifesto,” a pro-segregation document drafted by the late Sen. Strom Thurmond.
Moreover, Republicans can’t seem to provide any evidence to support their claim that Marshall was an “activist” judge. Talking Points Memo asked Coburn, Hatch, and Sessions which of Marshall’s opinions best exemplified his activism — “none of them could name a single case.” As the National Urban League’s Stephanie Jones wrote in today’s Washington Post, “Unlike many of his detractors, past and present, Marshall showed the utmost reverence for the Constitution” by defending equal rights for all Americans.
Commenting on the absurdity of Republicans’ attacks on Marshall, the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank wrote, “With Kagan’s confirmation hearings expected to last most of the week, Republicans may still have time to make cases against Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Gandhi.”

code word alert…
June 30th, 2010 at 4:29 pmLOL! OMG! It just keeps getting better and better for the Dems, doesn’t it? Barton’s ‘Apology’, Boner’s insistence to make seniors wait until they are 70 for S.S.. And now, Keebler boy is talking trash about Marshall? And don’t forget Mike Steele for being, well, Mike Steele. These guys are a joke!
June 30th, 2010 at 4:29 pmCoburn?…Coburn?…Oh, yeah, isn’t he the one that said Congress is incompetent and he wonders about the 23% that are favorable toward it? Is this the kind of incompetence he was referencing?
June 30th, 2010 at 4:29 pmIf Republics COULD feel embarrassed, now would be that time.
Regurgitating talking points about Marshall w/o ever having read his opinions is like supporting Palin because she has a nice ass.
Oh, wait! They’re already doing that.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:30 pmCoburn wouldn’t have voted to ratify the constitution either.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:32 pm“That’s a rather stunning statement when you consider the dynamics of Marshall’s 1967 confirmation.” Only 11 senators voted against Marshall, and their opposition “had everything to do with race
– - On the contrary, it makes perfect sense that these biggots would now hide behind I have “no idea” about how they’d vote for Marshall.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:34 pmCommenting on the absurdity of Republicans’ attacks on Marshall, the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank wrote, “With Kagan’s confirmation hearings expected to last most of the week, Republicans may still have time to make cases against Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Gandhi.”
Too bad for the Republican’ts this confirmation hearing didn’t happen a month from now. Because if it did then they would of had the oppotunity to make a case against Martin Luther King Jr. on the anniversary of his ‘I Have A Dream’ speech.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:34 pm“Well-known activist judge.” How insulting to the late, great Thurgood Marshall. These Senators would indeed crucify Mother Theresa herself if she were a Democrat. Marshall was thoughtful in his choice of an epitaph for his tombstone, which reads something like “civil rights attorney,” instead of “Supreme Court Justice.” For all the good you did for others as an attorney, may you rest in peace, Justice Marshall.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:36 pmOf course coburn wouldn’t have voted to confirm thurgood marshall. the reason is simple…he represented a group of black kids who dared to want to attend an all white school. thus, he was an “activist”.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:37 pmCoburn Has ‘No Idea’ Whether He Would Have Voted To Confirm Thurgood Marshall
Yes he does — he just won’t admit it.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:41 pmOh bullshite, just come out and admit you’re a damn bigot and wear your sheets with pride.

Worth repeating. This is exactly the situation. He’s a racist, and he can’t be sure that he could/would vote for an African American.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:44 pmWow. I just read that the Repugs stance on unemployment is seriously back-firing. On the WSJ, people, Repugs and Dems and Independants, are freaking out about the Repugs immoral decision not to extend unenployment benefits. Particularly, their venom is focusing on Scott Brown. I see the Repugs dream of a landslide in November is fading away.

“The House and Senate should stay in session until they can pass an extension of unemployment insurance, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said Wednesday.”
but i could not agree more.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:45 pmActivist judge = A Democratic or independent person who opposes the Republican version of American exceptionalism, including but not limited to, unfettered free markets, corporations as persons, torture, keeping nonwhites and women in their place, and promotion of a particular Christian morality through the law.
Passivist judge = all the other good people

June 30th, 2010 at 4:48 pmPilot@15, I just read that. I hope the unemployed workers appreciate what the Dems are trying to do. If it were up to the Repugs, they would let people lose their homes and get tossed into the street.

They don’t have much of a leg to stand on.
They were against the stimulus, even though it create a lot of jobs.
They’re against another stimulus, even though it would create more jobs.
They want the Bush tax cuts permanent to stimulate more jobs, even though those tax cuts are in place now and they’re not creating any jobs.
They’re against preventing businesses from sending a lot of our jobs overseas.
They’re against fining businesses who hire undocumented workers for jobs that legal residents should get to do.
And their common refrain about the unemployment is that people are lazy and won’t take the jobs that are available. What jobs? And they just called large groups of voters lazy.
Yeah, that GOP political strategy seems to be working out well for we Democrats.

I thought this thread was about Justice Marshall? Why the reference to the current Supreme Court and its Citizens United decision?
June 30th, 2010 at 4:52 pmThe only hope I see for the repubs is that the civil rights marches were 50 years ago. So many folk don’t remember what we came from.
Otherwise, Coburn seems to be arguing for segregation, etc.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:53 pmwell they really have to try hard to get that base rallied up again as they have peeked and now are falling off.
so its been a good end to june and will be a better july and come Nov. there will be less obstructionist in the way as well.
prediction
maybe maybe 2 senate seats
maybe maybe 20 house seats.
and those are BIG MAYBES as they will have problems keeping ones they have already.

What can the GOP possibly point to with pride and say “this is what we did last session, vote us in for this reason.”?

Oh, god, Dr. Quack is certainly a quack. lol Why in the world is Dr. Quack and the other GOP Senators are trashing the late Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall? The man was confirmed as a Supreme Court judge with 10 Democrats and 1 GOP that voted no and retired in the 1990’s. And you hear nothing from Colburn about Justice Thomas who replaced the late Thurgood Marshall. Oh wait, you won’t hear anything from Colburn because Thomas is basically invisible and barely says a word in the Supreme Court.

True, however in a greater arena one would be hard pressed to tell the differences between moderates on both sides simply by their voting records and alledged beliefs.
To most ideologies the Republicans and the Democrates are away and aways closer then most opposition groups.
In my honest opinion I think America would be better off with two new parties, one to the left and one to the right.
In McPolticis choice is a good thing ;)
June 30th, 2010 at 5:09 pmUh, our troll does realize, doesn’t he, that anyone can post anything on yahoo answers ?
Not to mention the difference between a democrat and a dixiecrat ?

June 30th, 2010 at 5:13 pmANSWER: They stood against the disastrous health care monstrosity. And will continue to oppose it and its implementation. I know I will.
Oh right right, the one that brought Aemrica into the 20th century.
Congratulations, better late (last) then never, eh.
If the Republicans use that as their flagship opposition point they might as well just save the time and money and sit this election out.
I dare you to send a letter to your representative (or your hopeful) and demand that you use the Healthcare Law as an attack point. Really lad, just… damn.

June 30th, 2010 at 5:27 pmNow we see the racist without the hoods. Most of the Republicans questioning Ms. Kagan would not have even been allowed to be Law Makers during the years of Justice Marshall. Now we see even a Centerfold nude model name Scott Brown can be a Senator. Coburn is a quack doctor who saw a way of making millions of dollars without working for it. Now he is clueless to the Law and is a make believe Religious leader and a Doctor Quack. Ask Coburn about his religious advice to Senator Ensign.
June 30th, 2010 at 5:27 pmRacism is live on TV with these Law Makers and it hit their hearts to hear Kagan say she deeply admired the first black Justice who’s legacy is beyone their reach.
I’m tired of this shit:
“Martin Luther King, Jr. was a proud Republican, killed by a crazed Democrat (see Yahoo answers).”
Of COURSE King was a Republican back in those days. It wasn’t until roughly 68 when the old Southern Dems switched to the Republican party because the Republicans had moved away from moderation and to the right, and their bigotry and racism found a new electoral home, a new advocate for States’ Rights (in the southern context) that the Democratic Party had separated itself from. Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms, too, were southern Dems, become Republicans. The new party of hate.
As for King’s assassin, James Earl Ray, he was an escaped con, a lifelong ne’er do well who disappeared and finally turned up in mid-June, 1968, arrested at Heathrow in London, using a forged Canadian passport and carrying a gun in his pocket. James Earl Ray who previously didn’t have two nickels to rub together arrested in London more than two months after the event as he arrived in London on a flight from Lisbon and carrying a Canadian passport. Right. Such an easy thing for a penniless wanted con to pull off. Memphis to Lisbon. No sweat. On the run for nearly three months in Europe. Right. Easy.
James Earl Ray was a hired assassin, and a well-paid one at that. A “Crazed Democrat”? Bullshit.

King, of course, was frequently accused of being a communist, and while the label was of questionable accuracy, it at least had substantially greater merits than the “socialist” canards that get flung at Obama.
King was a genuine “radical” in the sense that he was adamantly opposed to corporatism and the grotesque economic injustices of a capitalist society. (”Capitalsim,” of course, is not the same thing as a “free market system;” it is a legal system in which the laws favor the holders of wealth and capital.)
One not read a great deal of King’s works to recognize these facts; but of course, one does have to at least read. This is why infantile hypocrites and slobbering imbeciles like Bleck, shortpinkyayas, or Martha V.D. think they can co-opt King to their vicious, manifestly fact- and logic-free purposes: being too monumentally stupid to entertain even the abstract possibility of learning anything about anything, they simply assume that their monumental stupidity is the same as genuine knowledge and expertise. Such childishly parasitic drones are, in everything they say and do, nothing but the most contemptible sort of living embodiments of the Dunning-Kruger effect imaginable:

King was accused by J. Edgar Hoover, the bi-sexual cross-dressing head of the FBI, and Hoover did all he could to smear King in any way possible. It’s not unreasonable to believe that Hoover may have had a hand in King’s assassination, in fact.
Of course, the real reason King was hated is the same reason Obama is hated by people of that shallow wingnut lack-of-intellect interbred malady. King and Obama: black men.

June 30th, 2010 at 8:01 pmPlease get your facts straight, longredbillions. I’ve had to correct you in two threads now.
First off, it’s not really clear if MLK Jr was a Republican, it’s merely assumed he was. There are reports he was registered, but I can’t really find anyone saying this definitively. I’ll concede it’s possible. His father OTOH was the known registered Republican. And as others have pointed out, most Southern Blacks back then were registered Republican (but Democrat today) like the Democrats back then were actually Republicans in Democrat disguise (known as Dixiecrats).
Controversial Ad Links MLK, GOP
Assertion About Civil Rights Leader Angers Liberals — and Conservatives
Second, if he was a proud Republican, then why did he vote Democrat? From the Washington Post article linked above:
In fact, MLK Jr’s arrest is what triggered the Blacks to start registering as Democrats. Again, from the article:
Third, Lee Harvey Oswald was never a registered Democrat, nor Republican. He was an American Communist. That’s well known, even on Yahoo!Answers:
The question is, Was Lee Harvey Oswald a Republican?
Timothy McVeigh was a registered Republican, though.
Although a Registered Republican, Don’t you think Timothy McVeigh would be more in line with the Tea Partiers
July 1st, 2010 at 6:24 amAw crap. I’m obviously more tired than I thought. As a correction to #104, yes I realize Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t kill Martin Luther King, Jr. James Earl Ray did, and while some sites claim he was a Democrat, none of them are reliable sources. Best was from Daily Kos, quoting from a biography on Ray, claiming he was Republican:

Oh, and here’s an interesting quote from MLK Jr.

It just gets better and better. These people are so oblivious as to how the things they say make them look.
They are to the last woman and man uncouth, undereducated (you can get all the degrees you want and still be uneducated through willfull ignorance), money grubbing carpet baggers playing to their base which is comprised of the lowest most least common denominator.
They attack a civil rights icon and praise a woman with a witch hunter.
Wth no actual reason or excuse but for just because.
And they think they can get away with it because they have a bunch of Father Coughlins backing them up.
The time will come when they get their comeuppance. some of us are old enough to see the direct lineage of the tent revival false healers of the evangelical circuit and remember that the klanners and the anti abolishionists were also good church going folk.
I cannot be the only one who can see where they get their schtick.
As for soon to be Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, I think she’s a team Jacob.
