She was George W. Bush's secretary and they met in the White House when he was a counsel. So the biography is very important here. He also mentioned the family connections. He's a coach for his daughter's basketball team. He's very active in his Catholic church. So he seemed to be trying to make the case to the Senators that this is somebody who you'd feel comfortable with putting on the court, this is someone that would be independent-minded. Someone who is the son of two lawyers. He talked about his mother's work as a judge. Someone who studied law when he was a young boy. This is a real important attribute for the President.
