If the scrutiny is honest. Going back to a school yearbook isnt honest scrutiny. Reviewing a judge’s rulings and sentencing record is. I had no objection to Judge Brown personally until I listened to the hearing yesterday. It seems to me she is an activist. She doesnt agree with the law in terms of the computerization of the child porn industry, so gives out the lenient sentences, thats activism. She has described the heinousness of certain offenses, against toddlers even!, but then contradicts herself with a sentence less than recommended by the probation dept. Activism with plausible deniablity, in my view. And they are trying to cover up the facts in these cases. This on top of ‘no candidates but black females should apply’, and I have to say I’d not vote to put her on the bench.
This is America. Unfortunately, we can't seem to get past race and color. I agree. In America there should never be restrictions to an application based on race, or color.
I will never live to see an America were people are just Americans. Damn shame too.
That right there is actual fact. It never fails to amuse me that the Left decries racism and sexism and a lot of other isms out of one side of their faces while demanding racism, sexism, and a lot of other isms out of the other side of their faces. Both, at the same time.
What was that definition of "cognitive dissonance" again?
Either sex and race are the defining criteria for employment, or they are not. Can't have it both ways at the same time.
And judges are supposed to apply the law, not create it or interpret it. Those jobs belong to the legislative branches, not the judicial branches. Whether or not she understands that simple distinction and her place in it is the ONLY criteria for this appointment that matters, and I've not heard anyone, from either side of the aisle, ask that question.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
