Nathan Newman of the Agenda for Social Justice says Democrats should be taken to task for lionizing Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day 'O'Connor as moderate when the reality is that she's been right wing and anti-labor in her decisions on the court.

[Nathan Newman 1] : "In a string of decisions over her career whenever there was an issue up on whether workers were gonna have the rights under the labor law she always sided with the business community in stripping workers of those rights."

Newman, a labor activist with a PhD from UC-Berkeley and a law degree from Yale, says working families should pay close attention to the Supreme Court nominee fight.

[Newman 2 ] : "They have to actually ask the question. Who is actually going to the court? Why are the business groups so mobilized around the court and spending a lot to get their nominees? That's where people should be looking and asking questions about nominees. Not just their positions on hot button issues but what's their position on corporate control of the economy?"
