The Republican voters who stayed home because they didn’t like Romney, have only themselves to blame.

The GOP kingmakers and Masters of the Universe who demanded that Americans kiss the ring, have only themselves to blame.

Tell American voters how things are going to be, and you're not going to get a lot of cooperation.

So don't do that!

The court needs Janice Rogers Brown.

JRB is weak on 2A and might vote imho to reverse Heller.

When she was under consideration for Alito's seat, some California FReepers posted up to tell us about a California court decision in which JRB turned her back on appellants who were arguing 2A's self-incorporation and 14A incorporation to the State of California, in seeking relief from some restrictive California anti-gun legislation.

She must have had a big weekend planned, and didn't want to spend it sitting around writing a dissenting opinion. </off speculation>

Think she was on the 9th Circus.

Either way, she left the petitioners cold and flat busted, zero relief or even a kind word. From which I surmised they must have been right, she has no love for RKBA.

If Obola were to nominate her, that would be the proof of thesis.

Didn't George W. Bush pick Miguel Estrada, and the RATS dragged it on for two years, until Estrada withdrew him name?

That wasn't the Supreme Court. There have been dozens of judicial nominees of Democrat presidents that were blocked for months or years by Republicans, and dozens of judicial nominees of Republican presidents blocked for months or years by Democrats. That's pretty much the way things go these days.

I don’t know the particulars of that case, however she has been very strong on the right to bear arms as a “personal right”. See: http://www.pfaw.org/media-center/publications/loose-cannon-report-opposition-to-the-confirmation-of-janice-rogers-brown-3

I don’t believe there is anyone on the bench that shares her right libertarian view point on government economic regulations.
