His primary [[conservative]] accomplishment was appointing [[Janice Rogers Brown]] to the California Supreme Court and ignoring [[liberal]] attempts to smear her as somehow unqualified. Judge Brown was subsequently nominated by President [[George W. Bush]] in 2003 and was confirmed by the [[U.S. Senate]], after a two-year stall by [[Democratic]] opposition, as a federal appellate judge on the [[D.C. Circuit]].
