"The overriding concern liberals say they have about Janice Rogers Brown is the unsubstantiated claim that she is out of the mainstream," notes Project 21 member Donald Scoggins. "If you look at her life and her achievements, she is well within what anyone could rationally consider mainstream. In fact, she stands out as someone who embodies American ideals."

Associate Justice Brown is the daughter of an Alabama sharecropper who began her education in a segregated school. Her family later moved to California where she earned a law degree and spent the last 25 years in public service. After serving in lower state courts, she was appointed to the California Supreme Court in 1996. She was nominated to the D.C. Circuit in July of 2003.

On the California Supreme Court, Brown wrote more majority opinions than any of her colleagues in 2001 and 2002. She was retained by California voters with 76 percent of the vote. In a letter signed by 18 of her judicial colleagues, she was described as "a superb judge" who is "extremely intelligent, keenly analytical and very hard-working" and a judge "who applies the law without favor, without bias and with an even hand."

Project21 Bump!

Liberals need to learn the difference between "out of the mainstream" and "disagrees with liberal ideas".

For example, gay "marriage" is WAY out of the mainstream when some 70% of the population vehemently opposes it.

Liberals are incapable of learning. Their growth is stunted at the junior high grade level. Janice Rogers Brown ia not only mainstream (a BS term if there ever is one), but her life is exemplary. Yes, she finished college. The article also failed to mention that she did so even though she had a child out of wedlock. She knows the value of hard work and perseverance, and is a role model for the Black community. What is happening to her is G-d D--- shame!
