Ingraham says "Republicans were right" to attacks Justice Marshall, adds he was one of most "left-wing activist justices"

Wow . . .

And without him, we would still have segregated schools! Your name should be Jane, because you sure are an ignorant.....!

Disgusting, even for this wretched, evil woman.

That Thurgood Marshall was a man-child who didn't know his place

Laura Ingraham plays a role as a hateful racist, dummy,who knows she is not smart,but tries to play smart anyway.Laura Ingraham has become the role she plays.Laura Ingraham has been to the fork at the cross roads,and sold her soul.

He was one of most "left-wing activist justices"

See... this is a reason to EMBRACE THE LEFT, not a reason to HATE THURGOOD MARSHALL.

LEVEL THREE, I think

wait...helping end segregation dilutes rights?
I sense a 'Worst Person in the World' nomination ...

TPM has a great article about how they asked Hatch to give an example of Thurgood Marshall being an activist judge.... his response was

"You could name them," said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT). Pressed, though, he could not. "I'm not going to go into that right now, I'd be happy to do that later," Hatch demurred.

Jeff Sessions was closest to actually claiming something, but in the end, he was talking about a dissenting opinion.

"Perhaps the most activist decision in history, or actually it wasn't a majority decision, was Brennan and Marshall dissenting in every death penalty case because they said the death penalty violated the constitution," Sessions claimed. "The only thing it violated was their idea of what good policy was. And they just dissented on every death penalty case. And said 'based on my view that it's cruel and unusual punishment.'"

Which to me isn't activism, it's just being consistent with his decisions. They would respect him more if he flipped on his judicial beliefs? I think not.

I sure am glad to see some of the "conservatives" taking the gloves off to let Americans know how they really feel about civil rights for all. Better still, I'm glad it's happening within months of the elections in November. Their words and attitudes can be used against them, and I plan to donate to any progressive organization that wants to make videos and buy airtime to show the public how they look/think/act when they are pushing their special form of coded bigotry, racism, misogyny, prejudice, and discrimination, among other things.

thurgood is a radical now? and you rightwingers wonder why the gop is now equated with racism?shame.

Morning Joe was correct. If they persist in attacking a revered figure in the Black community it can't end well for a party that is concentrated in the south and has very few people of color in its ranks. I especially love the southern drawl of Grahm and Sessions as they discretely attack his legacy. Oh yeah BTW Laura, being a clerk for a Supreme Court Justice os a dream job for any law school graduate and it doesn't necessarily mean you agree with the Justice's philosophy. I told my wife I am 100% opposed to Justice Thomas' and Scalia's judicial philosophy but if they called and asked me to work for them I'd leave skidmarks in the driveway. That is a prestigious honor that even Laura Ingram's listeners should understand. No one is that dense.

After the hearing broke last night, TPMDC asked three of the top Republicans on the Judiciary Committee which of Marshall's opinions best exemplified his activism. And while two of the three were careful to praise Marshall the man, none of them could name a single case.

"You could name them," said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT). Pressed, though, he could not. "I'm not going to go into that right now, I'd be happy to do that later," Hatch demurred.

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) claimed it wasn't about Marshall's jurisprudence at all, but rather about how Kagan, as his clerk, drove his work on the court behind the scenes.....

Ranking Member Jeff Sessions (R-AL) came closest to citing individual cases, though ultimately fell back on a generalization.

"Perhaps the most activist decision in history, or actually it wasn't a majority decision, was Brennan and Marshall dissenting in every death penalty case because they said the death penalty violated the constitution," Sessions claimed. "The only thing it violated was their idea of what good policy was. And they just dissented on every death penalty case. And said 'based on my view that it's cruel and unusual punishment.'"

I'll wager that Ingraham couldn't pass this test, either.

Compared to who, ... Mother Theresa?

wow, first with beck saying that blacks don't own MLK's legacy and now going after one one the most respected justices on the supreme court it looks like the right is really trying to win the mid-terms by energizing their racist base.

Did she just call Scarborough out for being a liberal? Just what hurdles do you have to jump over now to be considered a Conservative in her mind?

Anything left of Mussolini is apparently her definition of "left-wing". Shrill, obnoxious, pathetically uninformed piece of poop!

If the Republicans want to start this fight (again), I say bring it on. If Conservatives like it or not, our great country has moved far away from the days of segregation. The Constitutional argument of the role of the Supreme Court doesn’t hold up to the legislation of Segregation. Demonizing Justice Marshall in the 21st Century will only further separates the Conservatives from the rest of the country and ensure their numbers will only dwindle as the years go by. It is days such as this that I realize that Conservatives that bring up this argument really don’t want minorities in their party, or this country.

exactly which is why he was so well respected and admired.
