Republicans Begin Supreme Assault
Ready for a preview of the dignified and serious consideration of Elena Kagan, Obama's new Supreme Court nominee, that we are going to see from Republicans? Well, I am sure this is just a start:
"In its first memo to reporters since Kagan’s nomination to the high court became public, the Republican National Committee highlighted Kagan’s tribute to (Supreme Court Justice Thurgood) Marshall in a 1993 law review article published shortly after his death.
Kagan quoted from a speech Marshall gave in 1987 in which he said the Constitution as originally conceived and drafted was “defective.”
“Does Kagan Still View Constitution ‘As Originally Drafted And Conceived’ As ‘Defective’?” the RNC asked in its research document. "
The defect? That it permitted slavery. All I can say is, she damned well better believe that was a defect, and so should every decent human being on the face of the earth. But apparently not Republicans, who do not fall within the category of "decent human beings."
