Justice Brown was not nominated for the Supreme Court. She was a California Supreme Court justice for about a decade and G. W. Bush tried to get her nomination confirmed to the DC Circuit Court. That court might be seen as a stepping stone to the Supreme Court since more Supreme Court justices have come from that circuit. Basically Bush was bringing her up to be nominated for the high court. The Democrats led by Biden held up her nomination for two years before the Republicans agreed to end filibusters for circuit court nominations. When Sandra Day O’Connor retired, Biden went on the attack and said that he would not allow Janice Brown as a Supreme Court justice by using the filibuster. He basically said that being a circuit court judge wasn’t the same as the Supreme Court since they don’t write case law. That in itself is nonsense and they absolutely write case law but to Biden, it wasn’t enough…. all while remembering that almost every Supreme Court justice was a federal circuit court justice and familiar with deciding constitutional issues and writing case law. So Justice Janice Brown was not nominated to the US Supreme Court because Biden held up her nomination to the DC Circuit and then went on record to stop her from being a Supreme Court justice. Here is a two minute news interview video showing Biden saying exactly that. -
