My personal choice would be Janice Rogers Brown for SCOTUS and even chief SCOTUS:
Private property, already an endangered species in California, is now entirely extinct in San Francisco.

Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. 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. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible.

We no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens.

The quixotic desire to do good, be universally fair and make everybody happy is understandable. Indeed, the majority's zeal is more than a little endearing. There is only one problem with this approach. We are a court.

Government is the only enterprise in the world which expands in size when its failures increase.

The public school system is already so beleaguered by bureaucracy; so cowed by the demands of due process; so overwhelmed with faddish curricula that its educational purpose is almost an afterthought.

She would be my personal choice, as well, and thanks for giving us even more reasons why she is a great choice.
We could suggest her name to the president, and frankly, I was shocked that she wasn't one of the names mentioned.
Wow! those quotes are great! thanks for posting them. I didn't realize she was such a solid intellectual. I had suggested her for the scotus because it would make the Dems insane: how can they possibly oppose a black woman for the Court after they just voted her fit for the Court of Appeals? She's better than I thought.
We need to run Janice Rogers Brown for President. Those quotations read as if they had been uttered by Ronald Reagan.
She won't be confirmed without the nuke option, but she would be the best choice because there is not much out there.
And the Senate actually confirmed her with a majority (more than 60) (albeit after four years of heated debate). Yep, she's the one.
