Kagan memos as Justice Marshallâ??s clerk may draw GOP fire

â??You canâ??t draw too many conclusions from these memos,â??â?? said Brad Snyder, a University of Wisconsin law professor who has examined relationships between judges and clerks. â??Thereâ??s a danger of saying if Kagan clerked for Marshall she must be an off-the-charts liberal. Thereâ??s no formula, but it will be interesting what she chooses to say about Thurgood Marshall, the judge, at her confirmation hearings.â??â??
