How pitiful can the Republican Party be? During the confirmation hearings for President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, some ass of a senator from Arizona began attacking the tenure and performance of Justice Thurgood Marshall. Now correct me if I am wrong, has not this gentlemen been deceased for some time? What does the admiration Elena Kagan for the late Justice have to do with anything? Because Elena Kagan mentioned an admiration for the late Supreme Court Justice, she was raked over the coals, but more preposterous was that fact that the late Justice Marshall was also raked over the coals. Who the hell is being confirmed here? The fact that Ms. Kagan has to endure the BS tells me that racism still has a firm foothold in our society. If the Republican Party wants to become inclusive, attacking Justice Marshall is not the way to go. Even conservative Blacks will not stand for that.
From what happened at these hearings today, it appears that Elena Kagan will be confirmed. The only thing they seem to be able to attack her on is the ban on military recruiters on Harvard's campus and her admiration for Thurgood Marshall. In one article I read it was stated, "Elena Kagan will be confirmed, Thurgood Marshall, not so much."
