Thus, it’s no surprise that Democrats on Capital Hill are blocking the confirmation of a judge to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit who – wonder of wonders – believes in property rights.
That judge is Justice Janice Rogers Brown of the California Supreme Court. One Democrat disparaged her as "the love child of Ayn Rand and Lyndon LaRouche." David Margolick, in the current issue of Vanity Fair writes; "When people begin poring over what she has written – more in her speeches than in her opinions, though her opinions are often tasty enough – they will be amazed and, in some cases, horrified."
Just what makes Justice Brown so horrifying? It must be statements like; "Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our own destinies atrophies." In that same speech Brown went on to say, "The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
