Sharpton breaks ranks on Brown - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics

The Rev. Al Sharpton implored Senate Democrats yesterday not to filibuster President Bush's nomination of California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown to the nation's second-highest federal court.

Justice Brown, who is black, has come under intense criticism by liberal black groups, such as the NAACP, and by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The panel plans to vote this morning on her nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

'I don't agree with her politics. I don't agree with some of her background,' said Mr. Sharpton, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president. 'But she should get an up-or-down vote.'
