Wonder if Frist and Co. will *finally* get serious about breaking a filibuster. I'm hoping they've just been waiting for a "diverse list" to us as P.R. to present to the American public -- Hispanic, black woman, white woman, etc. I'm going to be discouraged beyond words if they let Rogers go down without a fight too.

Thanks for posting this, I always enjoy Dr. Sowell.

In the country at large, the real issue behind all the sound and fury is that special interest groups like "People for the American Way" want judges to impose items in the left-wing agenda that cannot be imposed through the democratic process.

Or as Rush put it in number 26 of his "Second Edition - 35 Undeniable Truths of Life "Liberals attempt through judicial activism what they cannot win at the ballot box."

Also, to all PA FReepers, remember, if Snarlin' Arlen Specter wins the Republican primary, and gets re-elected, he will Chair the Senate Judiciary Committee. This would give the Liberals exactly what they want.

We can do better! Vote Pat Toomey for U.S. Senate.

Hopefully the anti-Christian - anti-God senators will get sent packing in the next election.

Voting these "commies" out of office is what "Christians" and those who stand "FOR" the Constitution have a duty to do.

SEND a message for the rest who are not up for election that they cannot keep their positions of "POWER" if they will not follow the Constitution.

Time for another visit to PFAW's offices?

She sounds like a "keeper" to me. I hope the Senate pubbies stand up like men and get her approved.

[Gritty]

Have you seen anything by anybody, anywhere, defending Janice Rogers Brown?

Nope.

It looks as if the bigots are getting set to easily carry the day, once again.

It must be frustrating to be in the majority when these pesky things constantly get in the way of your tee time.

Considering that Rove had a key role in picking Frist, I'm beginning to see this kind of nomination as a cynical ploy, tossing a bone to conservatives, with all the meat already picked clean.

We've had nearly four years of a Republican president, and nothing substantial has been done about the judiciary. At this rate, all we'll get is a pack of hungry Souters.

Brown is a tough cookie. She's gonna make mincemeat of the Dems when they try messing with her. Not a snowball's chance in hell her confirmation will be derailed.

[Billthedrill]

What the left-wing can never forgive her for is upholding the right of California voters to ban racial quotas.

So that's the issue. I thought it might be something like that. Progressive rage against "counterrevolutionaries" who threaten what they consider won ground borders on the insane.

Sowell BTT.

Huge bump!

The real question is whether the administration that nominated Justice Brown will mount a serious counter-attack or leave her out there, twisting in the wind, the way it did with Miguel Estrada and its other judicial nominees.

I'll wager on twisting in the wind for $500, Alex.

[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

    Leading the charge against Justice Brown, as it did against Judge Bork 16 years ago, is the grossly misnamed organization "People for the American Way." This is a far-left group with only contempt for American traditions and culture. They want judges who will dismantle the Constitution of the United States........

........More than 4.5 million Californians voted for Proposition 209, which outlawed group preferences and quotas. But liberals wanted the state Supreme Court to overrule the voters. Janice Rogers Brown refused and instead wrote the majority opinion upholding the voters' right to make the laws under which they live.

    The real question is whether the administration that nominated Justice Brown will mount a serious counterattack or leave her out there, twisting in the wind..........
===============================

Guys, As another writer wrote, "Diversity for groups like 'People for the American Way.' is only 'skin deep'." I would add, "If that!"

This would be a good time for the Bush administration to stand up. This woman believes in property rights and limited government. Peace and love, George.

[Elsie]

Because Justice Brown is black and conservative, she is being denounced as "another Clarence Thomas." Like Clarence Thomas, she is also being denounced as "unqualified" by people who have never read a word she wrote. Anyone who does read Justice Brown's opinions will discover a wealth of knowledge, a command of logic and an unflinching honesty about the law and about some efforts of her colleagues to compromise legal principles.

Psalms 11

 1.  In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.
 2.  For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
 3.  When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do ?"
 4.  The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
 5.  The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked  and those who love violence his soul hates.
 6.  On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.
 7.  For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face.
