"Bench Memos ALL EYES ON THE COURTS Four More Judges on the Bench [Jonathan Adler 06/07 12:53 PM] According to this AP report, the Senate could confirm up to four appellate judges – Brown, Pryor, Griffin and McKeague – in the next week or so. The article also notes that Reid hopes confirming these four judges will put the issue behind him. It also (mistakenly) claims that confirming these four would take care of “almost all of the judges involved in the centrist agreement that averted a showdown over judicial filibusters.” Well, not exactly. The agreement itself addressed nominees Myers and Saad, and the negotiations also concerned Brett Kavanaugh and William Haynes. And then there’s Thomas Griffith, and Susan Neilson . . . Brown Vote Tomorrow [Jonathan Adler 06/07 12:52 PM] An up-or-down vote on the nomination of Justice Janice Rogers Brown to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is scheduled for tomorrow at 5pm. 65-32 [KJL 06/07 12:32 PM] The Senate just voted to end debate on Brown. The Liberal Plantation [Edward Whelan 06/07 12:30 PM] Peter Kirsanow has previously noted that “[l]eft-leaning political cartoonists depict [Janice Rogers Brown] as an Aunt Jemima on steroids, complete with exaggerated physical features typically found only in the racist literature distributed by hate groups.” Schumer’s rhetoric (quoted by Kathryn) would seem to suggest that he views Brown as an “uppity black woman.” (The quote marks are to highlight the racist cliché, not to attribute those specific words to Schumer.) All of this is further evidence for the proposition, long advanced by the Wall Street Journal op-ed page, that liberals are very scared by blacks who have dared to escape from the comforts of the liberal plantation." nationalreview.com
