Those are great quotes. And how about her calling 1937 a "disaster" and the "triumph of our socialist revolution."

That's from a liberal site trying to discourage support, so I'm not sure if it's taken out of context. Nonetheless, I like it. I'd like JRB to at least sit on the DC Circuit, if not the SCOTUS one day.

Durbin quoted Brown as saying, "Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies."

"You have described the year 1937 -- the year in which President Roosevelt's New Deal legislation started taking effect -- as 'the triumph of our socialist revolution,"' Durbin said. "Given that the federal government and its role in our lives is your major responsibility if you're appointed to the D.C. Circuit court, I hope you can understand why some people have taken great issue with statements you have made and the philosophy which you bring before this committee."

Brown said she was speaking to an audience of young law students and was trying to make them think. But she stood by the statements. "The speech speaks for itself," she said.

In your face Durbin. She's 100% correct.
