thomas? shannon. well yeah, i ask senator mike lee about this last night. he had to vote yesterday on the nomination and was a no vote. he said if this was about race and us not trusting a black woman to be the first black woman to advance the judiciary like this, what about judge janice rodgers brown. she was a very qualified jurist but conservative and african-american and filibustered on more than one occasion because she wasn t thought to be able to advance through add potentially become a supreme court contender. they were worried that she would end up in that position. as senator mike lee and others have said if it was really about race why did you guys decide to vote against that qualified judge who did eventually end up on the federal appellate bench? harris: i mentioned clarence thomas, not a woman. but interesting in this gender spot that no doubt the u.s.
