The Republicans at Elena Kagan's confirmation hearings Monday seem to think so.

So on to the poll question:
Was Thurgood Marshall an activist judge?
NO
YES (please show an example of his activism)
I don't know
Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.), the ranking Republican on the panel, branded Marshall a "well-known activist." Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Marshall's legal view "does not comport with the proper role of a judge or judicial method." Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) pronounced Marshall "a judicial activist" with a "judicial philosophy that concerns me."
