Back in 2003, Bush tried to nominate her to the DC Appeals Circuit and Biden (then a senator) joined in filibustering her. 2005, when she was renominated, she got through but Biden voted against her. When Sandra Day O’Connor retired, Biden went on national TV and said that if Brown was nominated to fill O'Connor's seat
I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered
Biden repeatedly got in the way of someone who easily could have been the first black Justice, 2 decades ago.
Feels like this is a good time to bring up Janice Rogers Brown.
