It would have helped with the ABA rating etc if Brown already had two years on a higher court by 2005, but Bush opted not to pick her, then Trump picked three other people for SCOTUS. Rogers Brown never joined SCOTUS bc GOP presidents didn't pick her. — PolitiTweet.org

There wasn't really anything preventing Bush from nominating Janice Rogers Brown to replace O'Connor in 2005. His first choice (once Roberts was picked to replace Rehnquist) was Harriet Miers, who didn't have any judicial experience; Brown was a CA supreme court judge. — PolitiTweet.org

At the time (2005), Rogers Brown was seen as more of a libertarian loose cannon than Alito, who got picked over her and had a rep as a mini-Scalia. For the purposes of this nomination fight it's useful for Graham etc to pretend she was only stopped by Biden. — PolitiTweet.org
