Your contribution and view are interesting.

”Her public statements are that of an ultra and not a compassionate conservative.”

Whenever I hear generalities like this I always want to hear the specifics. What are her “ultra” statements? And who defines the mainstream? If you – as a self identified black – assume that the beliefs of the black community define the mainstream, you may wish to re-examine your assumptions.

You then question Justice Brown’s honesty; implying that she really does not believe what she is saying, she’s just taking her positions to get favors from Republicans. In a State that is overwhelmingly Liberal and from a race that is even more overwhelmingly tied to the Democrats, that kind of reasoning seems to be on a par with the overwhelming black belief in the myth of the church burnings during the Clinton administration.

I hope I’m wrong, but I detect a whiff of paranoia.

I am impressed with your attempts to label me and make this about race. The hardest thing about being conservative is having to explain to people that I have my own mind. I see those too far to the left and those too far to the right operating from a list of assumptions.

My congratulations to you for proving the point.

I can only speak my opinion based on what I perceive the truth to be. Please tell me if the purpose of this forum has changed.

To the specifics, please refer to her speeches to the federalist society and come up with your own conclusion.

As I stated before, her problem seems to be that of the inconsistency between her public statements and her record on the bench. My opinion and apparently that of several others.

"where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our 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."
