JANICE ROGERS BROWN
QUOTES FROM JUDGE BROWN:
“Collectivism was (and is) fundamentally incompatible with the vision that undergirded this country’s founding. The New Deal, however, inoculated the federal Constitution with a kind of underground collectivist mentality. The Constitution itself was transmuted into a significantly different document...”
“Protection of private property was a major casualty of the Revolution of 1937...Rights were reordered and property acquired a second class status....Something new, called economic rights, began to supplant the old property rights...With the advent of ‘economic rights,’ the original meaning of rights was effectively destroyed. These new ‘rights’ imposed obligations, not limits, on the state. It thus became government’s job not to protect property but, rather, to regulate and distribute it.”
“Once again a majority of this court has proved that ‘if enough people get together and act in concert, they can take everything and not pay for it.’ But theft is theft. Theft is theft even when the government approves of the thievery...The right to express one’s individuality and essential human dignity through the free use of property is just as important as the right to do so through speech, the press, or the free exercise of religion.”
“We are heirs to a mind-numbing bureaucracy; subject to a level of legalization that cannot avoid being arbitrary, capricious, and discriminatory. What other outcome is possible in a society in which no adult can wake up, go about their business, and return to their homes without breaking several laws?”
Will she be the President's next choice? The wacky left would explode. There would be such an explosive uproar that even the "not-so-wacky" Dems would have to join the chorus. I have to believe that it would trigger a filibuster. It might be fun to watch. I wonder if Judge Brown would want to go through the process of character assassination.
