You keep making a FOOL of yourself since this was right in front of your face:
"Brown was on Bush’s shortlist to replace her. She would have been the first Black woman ever nominated to serve as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. But Biden appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to warn that if Bush nominated Brown, she would face a filibuster. “I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered,” Biden said."
The SHORT LIST is published at the Washington Post article for July 1, 2005 while Biden July 3, 2005 on Face the Nation made a FILIBUSTER threat if Brown is nominated.
From Post one you still ignore,
But Biden appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to warn that if Bush nominated Brown, she would face a filibuster. “I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered,” Biden said. Asked by moderator John Roberts “Wasn’t she just confirmed?,” Biden replied that the Supreme Court is a “totally different ballgame” because “a circuit court judge is bound by stare decisis. They don’t get to make new law.”
He stated this on July 3, 2005 two days after the Washington post listed her because he apparently believed she is under consideration for a nomination by Bush thus the threat.
In the end Judge Brown was NEVER nominated because of the Filibuster threat chose Alito instead who was also on the short list for nomination considerations.
You're hallucinating. Nothing in that Washington Post article says she was on Bush's short list.
And I showed where she was added to Bush's short list months later.
And nothing prevented Bush from nominating her had she been who he wanted.
