Ken Salazer- racist mud-slinger

Harry Reid/Ken Salazar - Frick & Frack

Salazar: Thomas an 'abomination' High court justice no Thurgood Marshall, Colo. senator says Thurgood Marshall may have been a crackerjack advocate for civil rights, but being a hard nosed litigator does not necessarily recommend one to the bench.  Justice Marshall 's 24 years on the Supreme Court will be remembered only because he was the first black justice.  Bob Woodward's 1979 book "The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court" described Thurgood as indolent, uninvolved, and often  uncomprehending.  He delegated almost all of his work to assistants, and was quoted as saying, "I'll do whatever Bill [Brennan] does" - and he did.  He greeted Chief Justice Burger with, "Hey chiefy baby," because it made the straight laced Burger uncomfortable.  When it became necessary for the justices to view  blue movies that were before the court deciding porn cases, Woodward described Marshall's behavior as particularly crass.  He would grab a front row seat, and munch popcorn while whooping it up over the hardcore sex scenes.  I doubt that law students spend even a minute pouring over Marshall's opinions - if he wrote any. This is the man Colorado Democrat Sen. Sen. Ken Salazar yesterday held up as a role model that Clarence Thomas paled (no pun intended) before.  A year ago Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada called Thomas an "embarrassment," whose opinions are "poorly written."  James Taranto did some digging, and discovered it was Reid whose ass was gaping.  Welcome to the flappy asshole club Sen. Salazar.
