BE CLEAR why the Congressional Black Caucus and other so-called civil-rights groups oppose California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown's appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. It is not because Brown wrote a decision that upheld Proposition 209, the voter-approved initiative that ended racial and gender preferences in California state hiring, contracting and admissions. It's not because she was on the losing side of a 4-3 California Supreme Court ruling that overturned a law requiring parental consent for a minor's abortion.
What really gets under caucus members' thin skins is that Janice Rogers Brown is a black conservative.
Oh really?
If a white candidate held those same positions, do you think the "so-called" civil rights organizations would oppose that candidate's nomination?
Of course they would.
I just LOVE it when Conservatives play the race card.
