The political world has changed since the early 1990s Penske.
Nowadays it is respectable and expected to oppose nominees on ideological grounds rather than simply bow to the will of the President. This is particularly true of those whose views are truly well outside the legal and popular mainstream.
Ginsberg was and is quite "liberal" in her views, but she is and was nowhere near as far off-center as Judge Brown. (Remember too, that we're talking of the politics of 12 years ago in the case of Ginsburg.) For you to accused JRBs detractors of racism is the purest nonsense.
