Judge Janice Rogers Brown

Yippee! Judge Janice Rogers Brown has been confirmed. She will join the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit -- the court where I (and, incidentally, Hugh Hewitt) clerked.

Janice Brown is a disgrace. She is unqualified.

and according to her own peers -

Janice Brown is mean, too – vicious, even. Angered that all of her court colleagues disagreed with her opinion on a particular case, she raged that high school students were capable of better legal research. Brown makes a habit of lashing out at those who do not share her troglodyte views. “Some of her dissenting opinions have been openly contemptuous of her colleagues,” said the People for The American Way study. “Sources on the court have reportedly stated that her fellow justices have privately complained about her ‘poison pen’ and have called Brown a ‘loose cannon when she has a typewriter in front of her.’

Brown is the not fit for the job, by the standards of the profession. The evaluation committee of the California Bar Association rated Brown “unqualified” for state judgeship, in 1996. Among Bush choices for the federal bench, only Ninth Circuit nominee William Myers ranks lower in the American Bar Association ratings.

One would think that Republicans would seek out a lawyer who actually passes the grade with her own legal peers instead of just playing politics as usual.
