Why does this matter? It's not like any of these district or circuit court judges have the power to overturn Brown v. Board, and they aren't saying they disagree with it, just that they can't comment one way or the other. Still, it's something we should be concerned about.
Brown v. Board marked a turning point in constitutional law. It announced that the Fourteenth Amendment's promise of "equal protection of the laws" was more than a dead letter. Stating that Brown was correctly decided should be the easiest hurdle to a judicial nominee to clear
When nominees refuse to endorse Brown it does not necessarily mean they want an immediate return to separate but equal but it is a sign that they view Brown as a contestable area of law. It means they see civil rights generally as an area of law to be rolled back at will.
In the same way that conservative jurists have spent four decades chipping away at Roe v. Wade, there is the ever present threat that the radical judges Trump and McConnell have packed the courts with may chip away not at the core holding of Brown but at the principle behind it.
As @Sifill_LDF puts it, Brown v. Board anchors our very conception of modern American democracy.
