In support of Janice Rogers Brown

I don't usually get too excited about judicial nominations by the Bush administration.
But, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Occasionally, even the Bush administration gets one right.
And that's what has happened with the nomination for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The nominee's name is Janice Rogers Brown.
Repeat that name over and over to yourself. Make sure you know it and you make it known to others. You will want to write it in letters to the editor. You will want to express opinions about her to your senators. You will need to make noise if this important nominee is to have a chance at confirmation.
Janice Rogers Brown is the 54-year-old daughter of an Alabama sharecropper who became a member of the California Supreme Court.
Is she qualified for the job on the federal bench? If anything, she is overqualified. Janice Rogers Brown should be sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court right now.
However, there are a few obstacles blocking her path to the federal bench. There are a few obstructionists in her way. Just like those policemen standing in the schoolhouse doors so many years ago, there are a few racists who will do almost anything to prevent this heroine from assuming her position.
In this case, the racists are Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois and Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.
They say Brown is just too conservative for the federal bench. What they really mean is no conservative black women allowed.
These are the biggest hypocrites in the world.
The Democrats love to tell you how compassionate they are and how much they support blacks and Hispanics and women. Yet, when a black woman is nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Feinstein, Durbin, Kennedy and the entire Senate Democratic caucus line up in opposition.
How does one explain that?
They say it's Brown's opinions.
Do you want to hear one of the really offensive things Brown said in a speech three years ago? This was cited as prime evidence against her in a hearing last week.
"Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our destiny atrophies," she told the Federalist Society at the University of Chicago Law School. "The result is: families under siege, war in the streets, unapologetic expropriation of property, the precipitous decline of the rule of law, the rapid rise of corruption, the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit."
Feinstein confronted her by asking: "Do you really believe that?"
"I was referring to the unintended consequences of government," explained Brown.
Feinstein called her an anti-government extremist for those remarks.
I say she should be given a medal for those remarks. I've finally found a hero in California government. One who received 76 percent approval in her last test with voters statewide.
It's time to mobilize to get Brown confirmed. It's time to use her nomination as a way to embarrass every Democrat who dares oppose her.
Right now they plan to filibuster her nomination on the floor of the Senate.
How appropriate that racist Democrats will be demonstrating their plantation mentality for the whole nation to witness – attempting to block the daughter of an Alabama sharecropper from being confirmed for a federal judgeship.
Keep your eye on this one. Remember the name – Janice Rogers Brown. And spread the word.
