Brown I (JR) has a resume closer to what I would expect -- experience in private practice and government, I believe a stint in academia, and experience as a judge. However, she's also noted for being more libertarian than conservative, and thus may not be to the GOP's liking.

Brown II (E) also has a resume that would indicate she holds the type of experience necessary to qualify for the position - many years in private practice, followed by a number of years in the federal courts. Although she doesn't appear to have written many decisions, I would expect her to be more palatable to the GOP.
