President Biden wants credit for nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. But here is the shameful irony: As a senator, Biden warned President George W. Bush that if he nominated the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, he would filibuster and kill her nomination.
The story begins in 2003, when Bush nominated Judge Janice Rogers Brown to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The D.C. Circuit is considered the country’s second-most important court, and has produced more Supreme Court justices than any other federal court. Brown was immediately hailed as a potential Supreme Court nominee. She was highly qualified, having served for seven years as an associate justice of the California Supreme Court — the first Black woman to do so. She was the daughter and granddaughter of sharecroppers, and grew up in rural Alabama during the dark days of segregation, when her family refused to enter restaurants or theaters with separate entrances for Black customers. She rose from poverty and put herself through college and UCLA law school as a working single mother. She was a self-made African American legal star. But she was an outspoken conservative — so Biden set out to destroy her.

Isn’t it racist that they keep calling them Brown?
remember the same is true about putting the first Hispanic on the court. W wanted to put Alberto Gonzales on the court but
democrats made clear they would block him.
The closest KBJ should get to the USSC is polishing the marble steps. She is a leftist fanatic and probably racist also.
Biden’s always been a radical.
The Washington Post waxes truthful about Biden’s disgraceful behavior towards Janice Rogers Brown? I’m stunned...stunned!
