Yes, they reallly do want to abolish the New Deal
From one of aWol's winger judicial nominees:
"You have described the year 1937 - the year in which President Roosevelt's New Deal legislation started taking effect - as 'the triumph of our socialist revolution,'" [Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill] said. "Given that the federal government and its role in our lives is your major responsibility if you're appointed to the D.C. circuit court, I hope you can understand why some people have taken great issue with statements you have made and the philosophy which you bring before this committee."
[Federal appellate nominee Janice Rogers Brown] said she was speaking to an audience of young law students and was trying to make them think. But she stood by the statements. "The speech speaks for itself," she said.
