Thank you very much.

Questions for Debra M. Brown submitted by Senator Chuck Grassley

But the way I see it, my case that I make in my remarks I am putting in the record is that we have the lowest caseload of any of the districts and we do not need more judges.

It also reminds us of the importance of the rule of law and the liberty we enjoy.

That is a pretty remarkable pace.

Our law . . . needs to be restyled so that mothers are not routinely 'mommy tracked.'

I do not see any role for that kind of reasoning under the United States Constitution.

My view, any personal view that I might have, would be irrelevant to my serving as a judge.

there would not be enough work to go around.

I hope that President Obama is not going to be held to a different standard as though somehow he is different than President Bush.

I believe the article also concluded as well that not only conservatives would like this model that I propose, but neither would liberals, because I think somewhere we need to meet in the middle in that regard.

Thank you, but I do want to ask some now.

My time has expired.

Equal protection is at the heart of the abortion matter.

A little bit along the same line, I will quote Justice Douglas in Griswold.

I know that you believe that there is a right of privacy in the U.S. Constitution.

I want the audience to know that there is an honest difference of opinion between Senator Leahy and me on this subject of whether or not we need additional judges.

I hope we can start working on Professor Pillard's nomination and those of Patricia Millett and Robert Wilkins.
