We all love JRB but she’s 67 years old now.
Perhaps Judge Brown was overlooked or she was approached and is looking for retirement at her age. IMHO, she sounds like a rock solid candidate. Perhaps you should submit her name along to The Heritage Foundation, Jeff Sessions, or whomever else is working on this endeavor.
Judge Brown is likely seen as polarizing in her own black community since she often invokes slavery in describing what she sees as the perils of liberalism. She have a hard time saying in 2016, what she openly spoke in 2003. But then again, SCOTUS has the personal protection of the Secret Service.
“In the heyday of liberal democracy, all roads lead to slavery,” she warns. “Society and the courts have turned away from the founders’ emphasis on personal responsibility toward a culture of government regulation and dependency that threatens fundamental freedoms,” Brown warns.
“We no longer find slavery abhorrent,” she told the conservative Federalist Society. “We embrace it.” and “If we can invoke no ultimate limits on the power of government, a democracy is inevitably transformed into a kleptocracy — a license to steal, a warrant for oppression.”
That would be a foolish nomination for the Supreme Court. We need folks that are young enough to be around for more than a few years.
Is she on the list?
