He also said he was picking the most qualified person he could find. Is it really a big surprise that judge that is also a black woman would fit that bill. No it would not.
The Supreme Court needs more diversity, not less. It certainly needs fewer religious nuts and sexual predators to be sure.
If I posted an opening in my business and said I would only hire a white person I’d be arrested, as that is clearly against the law. Your impeachment is coming Joe.
He made this mistake once before, when he announced that he’s picking a woman for VP. It’s kind of insulting. He should announce he’s going to pick the best person and then when (if) he announces a Black woman, the public knows he chose the best qualified. This says “I may pass dozens of well-qualified people by, but she’s the best in my parameters.”
Caveat: I remember when Bush Sr announced Thomas was the most qualified person to sit on the court. We knew he was picking an (a) unqualified (b) idiot, just because he was the only Black conservative the Federalist Society could recommend.
If reviewing and deliberating on the rule of law requires total objectivity, then color or gender should not matter. Biden is just pandering to black voter, rather than being just for all voters.
Hey, SCOTUS nominees were always selected by race—White men. But Republicans are particularly known for selecting by race and gender.
Thomas was selected to replace Thurgood Marshall because he was Black. O’Connor was selected because she was a woman, as was Barrett. Scalia was selected because he was Italian American. Harriet Miers because she was Bush’s cleaning lady.
poor dana…. can’t find his pointy white hood…maybe he should call your hero david duke or the Pu$$y Grabber in Chief for help…. keep a-drinkin’ the koolaid dana…then go hide in the closet with lindey….

Dana Summers, like most conservatives, hates context as much as he hates history!

Summers is right; white men have always been discriminated against and now there are not enough of them on the Court.

All things being equal, is there any reason not to have a black woman’s viewpoint on the high court?

Why can’t we just find the best qualified person, not based on color or gender!

Trump Disciple Summers likes to claim that race shouldn’t matter.
AS IF.

So put down the pen; you look like a hypocrite.

Thought Biden wants to put a Black judge on the Supreme Court?
