The Kagan hearings made it seem like robots, not human beings, make the best Supreme Court justices.

Thurgood Marshall is an American hero, not a political punch line–it’s time for Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to acknowledge as much.

Sen. Sessions is dumbing down debate by trotting out the tired old judicial activist slogan. Will Democrats finally take the opportunity to explain what Supreme Court justices really do when they decide cases?
