JRB for CHIEF SCOTUS!:
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.

We no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens.

The quixotic desire to do good, be universally fair and make everybody happy is understandable. Indeed, the majority's zeal is more than a little endearing. There is only one problem with this approach. We are a court.

Government is the only enterprise in the world which expands in size when its failures increase.

The public school system is already so beleaguered by bureaucracy; so cowed by the demands of due process; so overwhelmed with faddish curricula that its educational purpose is almost an afterthought.

Can't see her for CJ..I think W expects to make 3 SC appts..possibly 4...She might be the third nominee he names..give her some time on the Dc circuit. I'd hope he names Estrada to the SC, but he could decide to name him to JRB's slot on the DC court after she moves on up...( gawd, that sounds like the Jeffersons..)
Justice Brown is a giant. Turn on the tv and see her list of accomplishments, her writings, then switch the channel and there's that humbug, Jesse Jackson, comparing a police raid on Neverland with Waco. Only in America.
Thanks for those Janis Rogers Brown quotes. I'm going to distribute those freely.
She is a brilliant writer! Flat out! School children should be studying her words. They would stand a chance of becoming much better citizens.
GREAT QUOTES -
JRB for SCOTUS !!!
For the last week or so, I've appropriated one of JRB's quotes as my tagline, because it's so truthful... And it's the truth in all of her sayings that really disgruntles the Demo/Commies. So, how can we clone her?
LOVE those quotes! This is a judge with common sense and a laser-eyed clear view of the world and society.
I love her quotes, I love her speeches.
Janice Rogers Brown for SCOTUS
Love the 'quixotic desire to do good' in contrast with the actual responsibility of the courts.
I'd LOVE to have JRB as chief justice! Wouldn't that be AWESOME? At least if we couldn't have Scalia or Thomas...
Wonderful quotes. No wonder the libs/socialists and MSM are so determined to defeat her -- she speaks the truth and common sense. I only wish the size of our tag lines could be expanded to include her quotes.
For what my two cents are worth:
I was fortunate to have Justice Brown as my professor of State Constituional Law at the McGeorge School of Law. On a personal level, she impressed me as being a calm and even-handed jurist. The kind of person that you would want on the bench if YOU were the one on trial. We will all benefit with her on the Federal bench.
