Part of being a qualified judicial nominee is an ability to show some judicial temperament and restraint. Janice Rogers Brown, clearly one of Bush's worst would-be judges, obviously doesn't understand that.
[snip]
Apparently, Judge Brown was on quite a roll. She described these as "perilous times for people of faith" in the United States; she insisted the "idea of human freedom" is undermined when we move away from the nation's alleged religious underpinnings; and she condemned atheists for rejecting the "idea of freedom."
So, let's put this in context. Bush has nominated a person to serve on the second highest court in the nation that believes FDR was a socialist, that minimum-wage regulations should be outlawed, that the New Deal was a "socialist revolution," and that Social Security should be equated with "cannibalism."
Then, to top things off during the fight over her nomination, she describes herself as a combatant in a religious war against non-believers.
Brown is Phyllis Schlafly in a judicial robe. Her nomination sounds more like some kind of bizarre joke than a serious move to fill an appellate court vacancy.
If the Republican Party still had any sense of decency left, Dems wouldn't have to filibuster Brown's nomination — GOP senators would have the sense to vote against her. |
