Kagen and Marshall

Looks like Obama's current Supreme Court nominee is causing division in the ranks. She doesn't have much of a record to attack and some (not radical) conservative judges she's worked with like her. But check out that link for the histrionics from the far right, especially blood-on-his-hands anti-abortion leader Randall Terry.

Meanwhile, the GOP Senators seem to think they are debating whether to confirm deceased Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Nice way to further alienate minority support for the party...kind of like arguing settled law that most people like. Except, maybe, racists. Since they have nothing else to do with this hearing, could this be a cynical play to the base?

Hmm.
