MAY, 1970: Remembering the Graham/Nixon protests. Some more background on that — my dad played a big role — in this story. That led to this case. Ironically, if there had been no arrests or prosecution, they’d hardly have been noticed, or remembered.

THIS SEATTLE POLICE BEATING SOUNDS DREADFUL, and if it turns out that things happened as reported, heads should roll. But I’m guessing it will create less national outrage than Arizona’s immigration bill.

UPDATE: “They all get religion when they discover they’ve been caught on video.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Michael Keating writes: “If that beating had occurred in AZ, it would have been blamed on our new immigration law.” Oh, you know it.

JACOBSON: For the most part, the right-wing blogosphere is sitting back and enjoying how people like Glenn Greenwald are tripping all over themselves to attack Kagan before right-wingers get a chance to do so. “And why compare Kagan to Harriet Miers? Kagan’s record hardly justifies such a comparison. Doesn’t this reflect an implicit sexism, similar to how Hillary Clinton was treated?”

RASMUSSEN: 55% of Colorado Voters Favor Immigration Law Like Arizona’s. Once again, I think this is a sign of media-narrative weakness, given the overwhelmingly negative coverage given to Arizona’s law.
