(Win McNamee\/Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Way back in 2003 through 2005, when Joe Biden was still a Democrat senator from Delaware, President George W. Bush nominated Janice Rogers Brown to\u00a0the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, but due to her conservative views, Joe Biden and the Democrats filibustered her nomination, blocking a final vote on her confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Bush nominated Brown for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2003 after she served as a justice on the\u00a0California Supreme Court since 1996; she did not get confirmed until\u00a0June 8, 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Janice Rogers Brown was reportedly considered as the possible replacement for Justice Sandra Day O\u2019Connor, but that ultimately went to Samuel Alito. Beyond Joe Biden, her nomination to the circuit court was also opposed by then-Sen. Barack Obama, who\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/obamaspeeches.com\/021-Nomination-of-Justice-Janice-Rogers-Brown-Obama-Speech.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">said<\/a>\u00a0her political views bar her from being an independent jurist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, as has been stated repeatedly on this floor, in almost every legal decision that she has made and every political speech that she has given, Justice Brown has shown she is not simply a judge with very strong political views, she is a political activist who happens to be a judge,\u201d Obama said in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Brown retired from her position on the circuit court in 2017.<\/p>\n<section><\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politico has been taking a beating on social media for falsely claiming Joe Biden\u2019s Supreme Court nominee \u201cwill be the first\u201d black justice, overlooking Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas.
