[FBI Director] Hoover instantly ordered a major investigation of the Free Speech Movement and assigned a lot of agents to look into it and whether it was a subversive plot. And they determined that while there were a few communists and socialists involved in the protest, it would have happened anyway, because it was really just a protest about this campus rule [a rule banning students from political engagement]. His agents repeatedly told [Hoover] that it would have happened anyway and it wasn’t a subversive plot, but Hoover ordered further investigation, and beyond that, dirty tricks to stifle dissent on the campus.

“Gov. Jerry Brown nominated UC Berkeley law professor Goodwin Liu to the California Surpeme Court today, giving the state high court a fourth Asian justice and a collegial liberal who is likely to be strongly supportive of civil rights,” Maura Dolan reports.

Liu was President Obama’s pick for the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals but failed to garner enough Republican support.

And with the 24th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft the New Orleans Saints select CAMERON JORDAN.

The Saints still haven’t gotten over the fact that Matt Hasselbeck passed all over them in the playoffs. Or maybe it was that final run by Marshawn Lynch.
