(NPR) —No fireworks, no gotcha moments, in the Elena Kagan confirmation hearings (thus far), so we might as well focus on something else. Say, how about Thurgood Marshall! Kagan once clerked for Marshall, a former solicitor general who became the court’s first African-American justice in 1967, and somehow Marshall — who left the court in 1991 and died less than two years later — has become all the rage. At least, all the Republican rage on Day One of the hearings.
