UM: Supreme Court

A New York Times article about the nomination of Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court quotes UM law professor Richard Primus. He tells the Times that conservatives have been energized to influence previous nominations because the right resents court rulings that barred school-sponsored prayer, legalized abortion and upheld some affirmative action programs. “It still lives off of that anger, and nothing of that sort of fire has really taken hold on the other side.” [Source]
