I don't think ol' Ben would mind her much.

She's a two-fer. Not only is she well-grounded, she'll be a thumb in the eye of the race baiters in Congress and the Senate. She was what I wished had been put up when Justice Clarence Thomas went through the process.

I like Thomas, but I think Janice Rogers Brown could run circles around him. There will be no guessing this woman's credentials, and we'll not only know we'll get a good vote from her, we'll see her more often than not sway others.

Please President Bush... pretty please...

At the risk of being skewered by historians of ideas, I want to suggest that the belief in and the impulse toward human perfection, at least in the political life of a nation, is an idea whose arc can be traced from the Enlightenment, through the Terror, to Marx and Engels, to the Revolutions of 1917 and 1937. The latter date marks the triumph of our own socialist revolution.

Judge Brown is 100% correct. The revolution was by Garet Garrett - 1938

This is even better than the "Whiter Shade of Pale" speech.

Here is what a woman looks like who is qualified to sit on the Sup. Ct. as a conservative, and who shares our family values :

While an undergraduate student working in the Department of Corrections, Janice met and later married Allen Brown. Her husband encouraged her in her career and supported her with enthusiasm. He and their son, Nathan, shared with her the tasks at home so that her role as a wife, mother and career woman was easier.

When Allen became ill with lung cancer, Janice left the very demanding work of litigation in the attorney general's office and accepted a position with the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency so that she could spend more time with her family. Her husband died in 1988.

For at least four generations, Janice notes that her family has been part of the church of Christ. That long family history of using the Bible as the single, undisputed standard for religious beliefs provided her with the foundations of her faith and fueled her analytical mind as well.

Apparently her fist husband died of lung cancer. Since 1978, Janice has been a member of Cordova Church of Christ in Rancho Cordova, Calif., where she worships with her mother, Doris Holland, and her husband, Dewey Parker, whom she married in 1991. Janice has been active in the women's programs at the congregation, and Dewey helps with children's education programs. This is what Miers did not show me. A life dedicated to family and family values.

Here is an example of her brilliant mind and good character:

Freedom is not free. And it will never be the lasting legacy of the lazy or the indifferent. For what we ultimately pursue is a true “vision of justice and ordered liberty, respectful of human dignity and the authority of God.”

I happen to like what I've read of what she's written here alot, although I've only read about 3/4ths of it. What's impressive, is that the woman even desires to address this stuff. Many people find this to be a waste of time, like you'd have to be crazy to want to.

I'd love to see some of the democrats cross this judge. I'll bet she could tie them in knots.
