Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, appointed by GOP President

Dwight D. Eisenhower. One landmark ruling after another was handed down

by the Warren Court, from New York Times v. Sullivan (1964) to Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) to Stanley v. Georgia (1969) to Brown v. the Board of Education (1954). Another was Gideon v. Wainwright, a 1963 decision guaranteeing criminal defendants the right to legal counsel. Three years later, the protections of Gideon grew even stronger thanks to the Warren Court's 1966 ruling in Miranda v. Arizona. The Miranda warning famously recited in countless police dramas includes elements of both Gideon v. Wainwright and Miranda v. Arizona, including, "If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you." <div id="story_page_incontent_p2_target"><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-5155643920455169" data-ad-slot="6339868799" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true" /></div>Far-right

Justice Clarence Thomas, during his 32 years on the High Court, has

made no secret of his disdain for the Warren Court. And that includes Gideon v. Wainwright.READ MORE:<a href="https://www.alternet.org/ron-desantis-2659533898/" target="self" class="rm-stats-tracked">How DeSantis declared war on the last century’s 'most important 1st Amendment decision': legal analyst</a>In an <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/shows/deadlinewhitehouse/blog/rcna75535" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked">opinion column published by MSNBC's website</a>

on March 19, legal blogger Jordan Rubin explains, "In a 2019 dissent,

in which he was joined by Donald Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch, Thomas

wrote that the justices who decided Gideon decades ago didn't

attempt 'to square the expansive rights they recognized with the

original meaning of' the Constitution. Of course, we've seen this GOP

Court trample rights under the guise of originalism. And while this was

only two justices calling Gideon into question, we've learned

that precedent only means what the Court's current majority wants it to

mean. I recently noted the irony of Thomas and Gorsuch wanting to

revisit a landmark defamation precedent, given that doing so could hurt

Fox News."The "landmark defamation precedent" that Rubin is referring to is <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/clarence-thomas-fox-news-actual-malice-rcna74243" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="rm-stats-tracked">New York Times v. Sullivan</a>. In

that case, the Warren Court unanimously ruled that in defamation

lawsuits, the defendant has to prove "actual malice" — the thing that

Dominion Voting Systems is trying to prove in its $1.6 billion lawsuit

against Fox News. Dominion, thanks to Sullivan, has a huge

burden of proof in that case. And Fox News' legal team is — ironically,

as Rubin points out — using, in its defense, a legal precedent that

Thomas dislikes.

apparent confusion here with elizabeth

attacked by Am Crossroads:

Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren struck back at former Bush White House senior adviser Karl Rove Thursday, after an ad by the Rove-linked group Crossroads GPS <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/08/one-month-after-depicting_n_1137489.html" target="_hplink">attacked her</a> for overseeing "bailouts that helped pay big bonuses for bank executives while middle-class Americans lost out."

"Congress had Warren oversee how your tax dollars were spent, bailing out the same banks that helped cause the financial meltdown, bailouts that helped pay big bonuses to bank executives while middle-class Americans lost out" says the narrator in the ad, referring to her position as chair of the congressional oversight panel on the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Crossroads GPS attacked Warren, a professor at Harvard Law School who has long advocated for financial reforms, last month for being <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tNxez4ddpa0" target="_hplink">too close</a> to the Occupy Wall Street movement, directly contradicting the group's most recent ad suggesting that she is too close to Wall Street.

"I can't find the right words to describe how wrong that is. Factually wrong and morally wrong," <a href="http://bostonherald.com/news/politics/view/2011_1209warren_slaps_down_rove_latest_attack_ad" target="_hplink">said Warren of the ad to the Boston Herald</a>. "Karl Rove is not telling the truth, and I think anyone who is not telling the truth shouldn't be running ads in this race," she continued.

"Karl Rove was part of the inner circle when President Bush pushed for TARP bailouts," she added. "Now he's using Wall Street money to attack me for being too cozy with Wall Street? I was calling out Wall Street over the TARP bill from the beginning."

Warren's panel wrote scathing reports about how the Treasury Department implemented the program. One report hit the Treasury Department for taking "no steps to use any of [the $700 billion rescue package] to alleviate the foreclosure crisis," and that "raises questions about whether Treasury has complied with Congress' intent that Treasury develop a 'plan that seeks to maximize assistance for homeowners,'" <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Economy/story?id=6606296&page=1#.TuIp6HNW5xV" target="_hplink">according to ABC News.</a>

She criticized <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/19/elizabeth-warren-bank-bon_n_324293.html" target="_hplink">bank bonuses in March 2010</a>: "I do not understand how it is that financial institutions could think that they could take taxpayer money and then turn around and act like it's business as usual," she said. "I don't understand how they can't see that the world has changed in a fundamental way, that it is not business as usual when you take taxpayer dollars."

A poll <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2011/12/07/elizabeth-warren-scott-brown-poll_n_1135546.html" target="_hplink">released</a> Wednesday by UMass Lowell and the Herald found Warren leading Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) by a 49-42 margin. The survey suggested that early advertising both by Crossroads and the Warren campaign has mostly helped her -- her name identification has gone up, while Brown's approval rating fell from 53 to 45 percent.
