Schwarzenegger Picks Moderate to Replace Janice Rogers Brown on High Court

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger named Carol A. Corrigan to the California Supreme Court this morning, replacing an ideological conservative with a judicial moderate.

Corrigan is a former prosecutor, former Democrat and self-described centrist who will replace the notable conservative Justice Janice Rogers Brown, who left last summer to take up a presidential appointment to a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C.

"She's a brilliant jurist," Schwarzenegger said today, referring to Corrigan as "classy," "experienced" and "knowledgeable."

Corrigan, 57, becomes the sixth Republican on the court. One justice is a Democrat. Corrigan's appointment leaves no African Americans on the state's highest court.

1. Better late than never I guess

Ahnold is rushing to the middle just as fast as he can. The election shocked him I believe and I think he is actually trying to do a good job. He wants to be thought of as a good governor and he realizes he can not be if he only represents right wingers....I still hope a Democrat gets elected but I must say lately I am impressed...
