On the recordNovember 12, 2003
I want to talk quickly, in the remaining time we have, about two of the nominees. I had the opportunity to visit this afternoon with the Honorable Janice Rogers Brown, who is a justice on the Supreme Court of California, whom the President has nominated for a position on the DC Court of Appeals. Justice Brown has a very distinguished 26-year legal career, all but 2 of which she served in public service. She has a great Horacio Alger story to tell. She was born in a tiny community called Greenville, AL, outside Montgomery. She grew up in the rural South just, as I did and Senator Alexander did, at a time that was very difficult. She made the best of the conditions under which she grew up and she survived in a situation which a lot of people didn't survive.
