Krazeehorse, if we are picking a member of SCOTUS based on race and sex, I think a better choice would be a native woman, say a Lakota Sioux for instance.

You were right about the priorities. Biden missed the boat appealing to the woke left, the racist basturd should have said his historic choice for SC judge would be a Trans Black Woman.

Here is a thought. What if he somehow is able to nominate a black woman who is the best choice.

There will always be some who will say that the only reason that person was nominated was because they were a black woman. They may be the best but will have that asterisk beside their name.

It doesn’t matter. It has already been stated that she will be nominated because she is black.

Best choice? That's a relative term, but if you mean someone who will judge by the originalist meaning of the words in the constitution...no way.
It's unthinkable that his handlers will allow such an error. He will choose a candidate that dislikes the U.S. Constitution even more than the late RBG. He will pick a nominee that will vote to reliably rubber stamp his authoritarian diktats.

Then all of her accomplishments won't matter. She was selected on what Biden promised Clyburn for his support.

Think

That's an awful lot like a quid pro quo for the Black vote.

What Biden promised Clyburn would be irrelevant, if she was the best choice. Are you saying you would not support her addition to SCOTUS if she was the best choice? Mind you I am not saying who is the best choice, just what if.

Look...

"The retirement of Justice Stephen G. Breyer will give President Biden a chance to make history, and to make good on his promise to put a Black woman on the Supreme Court, a campaign year pledge that helped revive his flagging campaign.

Mr. Biden made the promise at a debate in February 2020, just days before facing his Democratic rivals in the South Carolina primary, where Black people make up a large portion of the party’s voters. At the time, his campaign was struggling amid losses in two of the early presidential contests.

“I’m looking forward to making sure there’s a Black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we in fact get everyone represented,” Mr. Biden said that night."

Says the racist basturd Biden, “I’m looking forward to making sure there’s a Black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we in fact get everyone represented,”

Obviously, the nitwit thinks that the purpose of the Supreme Court is to give a voice to special interests groups based on sex and race as if sex and race signifies everything about a person and their qualifications to interpret the constitutionality of federal laws. If he thinks the Court should represent everyone by race and gender, the Court would have to be a whole lot bigger than 9 judges.

The demented blowhard would never nominate a black woman that was not a leftist ideologue...so all his talk about getting everyone represented is cow poopy, the only thing he is really interested in making sure the Court is dominated by leftist zealots legislating from the bench. So all his blathering about nominating a black woman is just political theater to pander to his braindead woke base.

That might work DMV but the question remains is it in the republicans’ best interest to do so. It’s going to be a left voting justice regardless so the optics of this tactic need to be weighed against whatever perceived benefit.

Joe trying to absolve his racist spine...appears it's not a good look as more Americans see him for what he really is.

76% Of Americans Oppose Biden's Pledge Only To Consider Black Women For Court Vacancy; ABC/Ipsos Poll



We have been discussing the controversial pledge of President Joe Biden two years ago that he would only consider black women for the first vacancy to the Supreme Court. While past presidents have said that they wanted to appoint nominees who were female or black, they all considered a diverse set of candidates and had “short lists” that included different races and genders. Biden has promised that he will not consider males or non-black candidates. Now, an ABC News/Ipsos poll shows that 76 percent of Americans reject such a threshold exclusionary rule based on race or gender.

During the primary, Biden wanted to garner support with black voters by saying that he would only consider black women for the next seat. He made the pledge after Rep. James Clyburn pushed him to do so during a break the presidential debate — Biden turned around and made the commitment when the debate resumed according to a new book. Clyburn later gave Biden his critical endorsement that many (including Biden) attribute his victory to in the key South Carolina primary.

As discussed previously, commentators have insisted that Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, and George H.W. Bush made the same pledge. That is also false. While seeking to appoint women and African Americans, none of the three excluded other races or genders from consideration and had diverse short lists. Yet, even if they did, the question remains: should admission to the Court be based on an exclusionary threshold qualification that the Court has rejected as unconstitutional or unlawful for schools and businesses.

Notably, even 54 percent of Democrats agreed that Biden should consider all potential candidates.

Just 23% want him to automatically follow through on his history-making commitment,” according to ABC News. Yet, Democratic senators have applauded Biden for his pledge.

That is roughly the same quarter of voters that seems to drive much of the policies in the Biden White House — an agenda that has politically marginalized the President with many voters.

As I have previously written, none of this was necessary. President Biden could have stated his intention to seek a black female nominee without closing consideration to any other race or gender.

The Biden Administration has repeatedly been called out for policies or programs with racial criteria. It is the same type of threshold use of race that resulted in federal programs in the Biden Administration being struck down as raw racial discrimination, including prioritizing black farmers for pandemic relief. Likewise, the Administration has been criticized for supporting the use of race to prioritize the receipt of scarce Covid treatments.

it would be virtually impossible that there aren't dozens of qualified candidates from every race, religion, sexual orientation, fill in the blank, on Earth.
Which makes it sadder/worse/infuriating that some of those people have never been selected in like 250 years...just as a natural act.

Asians have done the exact opposite of achieving victimhood. Asians are just successful.

Minorities cannot be successful in a society based on systemic racism in favor of white people without the help and intervention of socially conscious white Democrats.

And what level of victimhood have they experienced? Not even counting the railroad...

you need to get out and experience life, don't believe what is pre-selected for you to read and mistake that for first hand knowledge. You really will think differently, and not necessarily "liberally". But differently.

Ever spend time in the kitchen of any kind of Asian restaurant? I had several for customers in one of my careers. Or a warehouse (I ran a few, hired several Vietnamese). Or any Asian family owned small biz like Al grew up in and worked?

Why am I even asking? Sorry to disturb you.

wouldn't true success in American society have to, by definition, include positions of leadership and policy input, rather than be measured simply by the incomes of some of a group?

this is not an unexpected reply.

in all seriousness, are you bedridden? I'm starting to wonder why you are so limited in interpersonal experience for someone who clearly has a ton of potential intellectual capability. Your brain muscle is developed but unfed.

I can't imagine living anywhere near an urban area, even Buffalo, and having absolutely no interaction with, knowledge of, nor relationship with anyone of the many ethnicities that define the American experience.

How did you get to this point in life without living in East Bumfark and not know a single Jew or Asian?

You are really missing out.

Sunday Talks, Lindsey Graham Goes Full Color Revolution, Supports Race-Based Political Judges, Unilateral War Against Putin and J6 Targeting

January 30, 2022 | Sundance | 421 Comments

Quote:
Senator Lindsey Graham is the male version of Hillary Clinton, complete with purple tie uniform today. In this interview the full DeceptiCon Senator Graham is on display; remarkably so. For this exhibition CBS’ Margaret Brennan plays the role of Sean Hannity.

Senator Graham starts by showcasing his support for the Biden gender and skin color rules for a black, female nominee to the Supreme Court. The South Carolina senator then proposes a war with Russia using Ukraine regardless of whether Ukraine or any other European country supports it. Finishing off the agenda of the deep swamp, Graham proclaims his support for the indefinite detention of J6 protestors who he said, “deserve to have the book thrown at them.”
