U.S. President George W. Bush nominated her to her current position in 2003. However, her nomination was stalled in the U.S. Senate for almost two years due to Democratic opposition to her conservative judicial philosophy. She began serving as an appellate court judge on June 8, 2005. She is frequently mentioned as a possible Bush nominee to the United States Supreme Court. If Brown were appointed to the Supreme Court, she would become the first African-American woman Justice.
