In NPR Interview, Harry Reid Whacks 'Extreme Right Wing' Black Female Judge (Janice Rogers Brown)
Newsbusters ^ | 11/28/13 | Tim Graham

On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid showed up for a phone interview on The Diane Rehm Show on NPR to discuss shredding the filibuster for presidential appointees. A very polite Rehm asked if this might make partisanship worse.

“I'm sorry to smile, as you can't see on radio, but more dysfunction? I mean, gee whiz,” Reid replied. But underneath the Nevada-nice routine came an attack out of nowhere on black libertarian judge Janice Rogers Brown as one of the “extreme right wing people” the Senate confirmed in the Bush years.

**SNIP**

Later, Reid added that “we put on that court some of the most extreme right wing people you could find."

"Janice Rogers Brown thinks there's a Communist behind every bush even now.”

I like her.

She’s right and I would have nominated her for the
Supreme Court.

I hope the good Judge Brown has her day in court and the person on the opposite side of the bench is Dirty Harry. Payback can be a bitch!

She is for small government . so these democrats/marxists call her extreme right wing for that.

here's a clue to all idiot democrat voters:

government/socialism doesn't work and must be kept very small and limited. what about that is extreme or right wing you morons?

I want the gov to leave me and the free market alone . I want to live my life the way I want. that's extreme or right wing to you democrat monsters

The so-called “news” media should start pressing these lefties on what they think “extreme right” means.

For instance, read them some quotes from the Founding Fathers and ask the lefty is James Madison was “extreme right wing”

We're pretty much to this point now:

"My question for our first guest -- Where do you stand on the issues of the day?"
"Well, I think we should tax the rich into oblivion, redistribute all the wealth, expand government, provide abortion and euthanasia on demand, and legalize polygamy."
"So, you see yourself as a Moderate?"
"Absolutely.

"And now, our second guest -- your views?"
"I like the Constitution. We know our government is deeply in debt, I think we need to keep our spending flat and focus on economic issues to help American families make ends meet."
"Bit of a rabid right-wing extremist, aren't you?"
"Errrrrr, no, not really. I --"
"Deny it all you want sir, but your kind of racist zealotry will not be tolerated on this show! Cut his mic! Cut it! Don't ever have him back! The hatred is too much!"

She is from Alabama. this makes sense since most from there are for freedom and small government.

Janice Rogers Brown On American Government
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. [“A Whiter Shade of Pale,” Speech to Federalist Society (April 20. 2000)(“Federalist speech” at 8]Where government advances – and it advances relentlessly – freedom is imperiled; community impoverished; religion marginalized and civilization itself jeopardized....When did government cease to be a necessary evil and become a goody bag to solve our private problems?

She was born and raised in Alabama, but was educated and served her professional life in California, ending up on the California Supreme Court before being appointed to the DC Circuit in 2003.

There’s no fury in America like the fury on the Left expressed toward any Black who has the temerity to leave the plantation.

Maybe he's laying the groundwork to have her recuse herself due to the appearance of personal animus. Nonetheless, it is unbecoming to have prominent member of the legislature engage in vitriolic attacks on the judiciary.

W Bush should have put her on the Supreme Court instead of Roberts the liberal.We'd have a different Country with Janice Brown as Supreme Court Justice

She was raised in Alabama . I in Louisiana. no wonder we are both for freedom and small government we are both from the South. liberals say that is racist because we want very limited government. well she is black so liberals are the extremist marxists

Her name was on my short list too. The way Bush let Miguel Estrada hang out to dry wasn't pretty either.
