On Tuesday, May 1, 2007, Judge Janice Rogers Brown of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit spoke at The Lincoln Institute Breakfast Forum at the University Club in Washington, D.C.

Like Justice Thomas who spoke last November, Janice Rogers Brown is a distinguished jurist with a strict constructionist track record who demonstrates a deep commitment to the constitutional principle of limited government. She is often mentioned as a possible Supreme Court nominee.

Born a sharecropper’s daughter, Judge Brown earned law degrees from two of the nation’s top law schools. She has served as California’s Deputy Attorney General and as a member of the California Supreme Court.

We enjoyed hearing about her fierce confirmation battle and what it’s like to serve on the judicial battlefront first hand as she spoke on the topic of "The Politics of Compassion; The Metaphysics of Hate."
