Confirming their Hatred of Thurgood Marshall

A curious thing is happening during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Elena Kagan. Rather than attacking Kagan, Republicans are attacking Thurgood Marshall. Why are they attacking Marshall? After all, the Senate already confirmed Marshall to the Supreme Court in 1967, and he died in 1993. But they brought him up anyway because Kagan worked […]

Arizona Governor Doubles Down on Racist Lies

In a previous post, we caught Arizona governor Jan Brewer lying repeatedly about the anti-immigrant law she had just signed. She kept saying that “under SB 1070 there must first be reasonable suspicion that you are breaking some OTHER non-immigration law before an officer can ask a person about their legal status.” But if you […]
