PRESTOPUNDIT

Speaking truth to honorary lifeguard Ted Kennedy -- Justice Brown goes before the (corrupt) U.S. Senate.

Diane Feinstein -- a continued embarrassment for California -- attacked Justice Brown with these silly and deeply cynical words "How can I depend on you to disassociate yourself from those views and follow the law?" These words for a sitting State Supreme Court justice with an outstanding legal record.

Feinstein was doing the McCarthite/Kennedy treatment on Brown for her exercise of her free speech rights in a talk for students which included the following statement, "where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege, war in the streets, unapologetic expropriation of property, the precipitous decline of the rule of law, the rapid rise of corruption, the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit."

Our experience in the last 100 years -- if facts matter -- is the all too sad truth of this statement.
