the Dems would be able to use the point that they were "just confirmed" to the lower court to say they were "not qualified". Brown is the perfect person to replace Ginsburg someday, if we can hold the white house in 2008.
go for the Hispanic now (not Gonzales).
Not with Brown and Owen who come from their respective State Supreme Courts in CA and TX. They have the background to become justices of the SCOTUS because they do have the experience of being on a State Supreme Court.
