Is Janice Rodgers Brown a liberal judge?
Todd Zwycki comments on a study of decisions by six judges who are considered Supreme Court possibilities. The ranking from the study is not what I would have expected with Janice Rodgers Brown the least conservative and Wilkinson the most.
Judge | Composite Ideology |
Janice Rodgers Brown (SCOCA) | 59.9 |
Frank Easterbrook | 68.8 |
Emilio Garza | 70.4 |
Edith Jones | 71.3 |
J. Michael Luttig | 68.2 |
J. Harvie Wilkinson | 79.5 |
U.S. Court of Appeals Average | 64.4 |
There are three components: criminal justice, civil rights and liberties, and economic and labor regulation. It may be that Janice Rodgers Brown's score reflects different sorts of cases heard in California's Supreme Court or perhaps just different law being applied.

Roberts had not been judging long enough for reliable results.
