Re: [Marxism] An analysis of the DP convention that works better than Cockburn's, in my opinion

But all those people were sold at the
time as ones who would be conservative
justices.  Eisenhower professed shock
that Earl Warren had turned out to be
so progressive.  Nixon always sold his
Supreme Court picks as being "strict
constuctionists", who were dedicated
to "law and order."  David Souter
was presented by George I as a
conservative jurist.  Some people
here might recall, Ted Kennedy even
voted against him on the grounds
that he would be a right-wing justice
in the Robert Bork mold.

The typical rejoinder to that is "That was then; this is now."
