Both men. Only 5 women have served on the Supreme Court (also a disgrace) & none of them have been black. Structural racism writ large.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device If that’s your argument make the case for Kavanaugh and Barrett being the “most” qualified people. All of the rumored black women have far more impressive qualifications than either of those. But they’re not white as all but two of the Justices have been to date. Biden announced he'd nominate a Black woman to SCOTUS and the white wing is losing their #^&#^&#^&#^&. For centuries there was no announcement that the nominee would be a white man b/c it was assumed. That's how racial ideology works; it passes as uncontroversial & natural landscape.

Let's not forget Trump said the same thing after the death of Ginsburg. He said he would name a woman to succeed her before he had chosen a nominee. you are ignoring the race part, which is weird because that is usually your obsession.... seems like Reagan and Trump are not racists and not even sexits and Brandon is :kewl: wdmso 01-31-2022, 11:00 AM you can’t grasp the simplest thing. maybe that’s what comes from a lifetime of avoiding meaningful time in the private sector, i don’t know. i do know, that your inability to be logical, is staggering. i never mentioned affirmative action. maybe his pick will be phenomenal. but it’s stupid to set racial and gender limits, before you know if and when you’ll have a vacancy to fill.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Jim in CT 01-31-2022, 11:04 AM I'm sure you said the same thing when Reagan said he would pick a woman. i was a tad young so no, not at the time. whet do you think my response will be to reagan and teump doing it? (1) it’s just as stupid as biden doing it? or (2) it’s ok when republicans do it? the answer, obviously, is (1). i’m not a naked hypocrite paul. that’s you guys, not me. i think it was brilliant, politically, for trump to pick a woman because it put the democrats in an impossible situation. Barrett was also clearly brilliant and qualified, and Trump knew that ( knew her) when he said he’s luck a woman. we all knew, for many reasons, it was going to be Barrett.

Jim in CT 01-31-2022, 11:30 AM Barrett was also clearly brilliant Really please tell Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device got through days of questioning, often without having to take notes. Dianne Feinstein, who single handedly led the with hunt against Kavanaugh, was repeatedly impressed by her. Got a full scholarship to Notre Dame law and taught there. Has taught at ND and at University of Virginia, which is a great school. Character? She adopted two children from Haiti, and is raising a kid with Downs, we all know what your side does to those kids. Unlike Sotomayor, Barrett doesn't have a history of getting unanimously overturned by higher courts, nor has Barrettt ever said that judges of her race and gender make better judges (which is what Sotomayor once claimed). Pete F. 01-31-2022, 12:11 PM I notice you avoided “I like beer” Choosing a black woman to sit on the Supreme Court isn't racist. Choosing white men 110 times out of 115 to be Justices is racist. And sexist. As RGB said when asked how many women should there be on the Supreme Court “When there are nine” Nobody ever questioned it when there were nine men on the court. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device scottw 01-31-2022, 12:13 PM Choosing a black woman to sit on the Supreme Court isn't racist. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device it's is when you announce publicly that you won't even be considering other races... Jim in CT 01-31-2022, 12:38 PM "white wing" must be pretty big.... A new ABC News/ Ipsos poll found that 76 percent of Americans want Biden to consider “all possible nominees,” while only 23 percent want him to automatically follow through on his promise to nominate a black woman. Bunch of white wingers... Jim in CT 01-31-2022, 12:39 PM But it seems like you had no problem when both Reagan and Trump said they would nominate a woman while you don't like that Biden said he would nominate a Black woman. Hmm, I can't put my finger on the difference. I've said multiple times, it was stupid for Trump and Reagan to announce ahead of time they'd exclude ANYBODY based on race or gender. Fair enough? Maybe get the facts before you make demonstrably false and stupid assumptions. I'm not a naked hypocrite Paul, I have principles that you don't agree with, but I apply them to both sides. Jim in CT 01-31-2022, 12:43 PM Choosing a black woman to sit on the Supreme Court isn't racist. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device You tell me what's wrong with the following sentence... Refusing to consider whites, asians, hispanics, and native americans based solely on their race, is racist. It's the exact textbook definition of racist. Limiting the choice to a black woman isn't racist against blacks. It's racist against everyone else. Two things can be true at once, and in this case, those two things are true. Pete F. 01-31-2022, 01:36 PM Choosing someone JUST because of their race or sex is racist/sexist. Choosing an outstanding candidate who also happens to be those is not. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device wdmso 01-31-2022, 01:42 PM "The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity. that's fine for conservatives as long as you leave out Black because they think that's not possible ... as if Clarence Thomas was the best choice in his Day wdmso 01-31-2022, 01:59 PM got through days of questioning, often without having to take notes. WOW so that qualifies you to be a SCJ Dianne Feinstein, who single handedly led the with hunt against Kavanaugh, was repeatedly impressed by her.

Sotomayor entered Princeton University on a full scholarship do you have a point Character?

But Jim wants us to think Trump picked her because she was the best for the Job :rotflmao: PaulS 01-31-2022, 02:01 PM I've said multiple times, it was stupid for Trump and Reagan to announce ahead of time they'd exclude ANYBODY based on race or gender.

Go f yourself you angry dic k :bshake: I'm not a naked hypocrite Paul, I have principles that you don't agree with, but I apply them to both sides.No you don't. Where is your thread crying about Reagan and Trump announcing it is wrong for them to consider only woman?

And the thread i started here, was a j-o-k-e. A harmless joke. and it broke your brain a little. because criticism of the left isnt allowed. Politically, his is a smart move for Biden and the dems.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device It is no more discrimination that what Trump or Reagan did. There are multiple people who are qualified for the SC and blacks (and woman) are/were shut out for too long. Jim in CT 01-31-2022, 02:58 PM 2 years On the Seventh Circuit, Barrett wrote 79 majority opinions Barrett is a 48-year-old federal appeals court judge favored by social conservatives and the religious right. But Jim wants us to think Trump picked her because she was the best for the Job :rotflmao: How many of Barrett's 79 majority opinions, were overturned by a higher court? That's a sincere question... Sotomayor has repeatedly been overturned by the Supreme Court, when she was a lower justice. Once, she was overturned unanimously. That means everyone from Scalia to Ginsburg, and everyone in between, said she was wrong on the law. Which kind of means she wasn't great at being a lower court judge, doesn't it?. Sotomayor also said that female hispanics make better judges than anyone else. That's what she said. Oh, there were sleazy reasons why Trump picked Barrett. He knew a woman would drive the liberals bonkers and when they attacked her, it would show the world that they don't really care about women like they claim they do. Jim in CT 01-31-2022, 02:59 PM It is no more discrimination that what Trump or Reagan did. There are multiple people who are qualified for the SC and blacks (and woman) are/were shut out for too long. "It is no more discrimination that what Trump or Reagan did.

"Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor backed away from a now-famous quotation from one of her speeches, saying her comment about a “wise Latina” judge had fallen flat, and was “a bad idea.” The statement was made in contrast to a familiar quote from former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor who often said that she did not view herself as a female jurist.

None. And i’m not sure how anyone can pretend that’s not textbook bigotry. she said explicitly, that being hispanic and female allows one to acquire more wisdom than a white man can acquire. Because our experience is inferior. I notice being a female latina ( and all the inherent wisdom contained therein) didn’t prevent her from making a fool of herself when she said there were many more kids hospitalized with covid than actually are. Nor did all that wisdom prevent her from being unanimously overturned by SCOTUS when she was a lower judge. When Ginsberg and Scalia and everyone in between says you were wrong in the law, that means you were really wrong. Doesn’t it? She’s not bigoted! She just thinks female Latinas are more wise than white men. That’s not bigoted at all!

When Ginsberg and Scalia and everyone in between says you were wrong in the law, that means you were really wrong. Doesn’t it? She’s not bigoted! She just thinks female Latinas are more wise than white men. That’s not bigoted at all! Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Now it’s my job to make your case? Again your just upset a brown person called out Bias Basically saying Try walking in my shoes before YOU Aka WHITE DUDE . Tells me how easy it was or how I should have walked The line was almost identical every time: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion." That sentence, or a similar one, has appeared in speeches Sotomayor delivered in 1994, 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2001. In that speech, she included the phrase "than a white male who hasn't lived that life" at the end, which sparked cries of racism from some Republicans.

Huh? No. But if you say I took it out of context, you should provide the correct context. You didn't. What bias did she call out? She said female Latinas have a superior life experience compared to us male gringos. It's textbook bigotry. The bias is hers. "Basically saying Try walking in my shoes before YOU Aka WHITE DUDE . Tells me how easy it was or how I should have walked " That's not within a million miles of what she said. She said her experience generates more wisdom that that of a white man. You completely changed what she said, to make it more benign. I have no problem with what you said. But that's nowhere near what she said. Sotomayor said female latinas are superior to white men. How did you hear, "don't judge me unless you've walked a mile in my shoes"? She didn't say female latinas are different. She said they're better. scottw 02-01-2022, 11:10 AM Look at that what a shocker cries of racism from some Republicans How that for context Jim and Scott Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device that's not context, it's wayne's racist Tourette's scottw 02-01-2022, 11:12 AM Basically saying Try walking in my shoes before YOU Aka WHITE DUDE .

Why did Feinstein wait until the very end of Kavanaugh’s first round of hearings, to break the story? She had the allegation all along. Other than for political drama and political impact, what possible reason was there for her to sit on it for a week? i don’t know when the rape happened, i do t know where it happened, i never told anyone about it, i don’t know how i got home, can’t name a single other person who was at the party, but i know who did it. reeks of credibility.

What exact tactics did the Ds do that the Rs "replicated" since it seems like the Rs have a long history of limiting who should be considered for the SC but when the Ds do it the Rs get their panties all in a bunch?

"Should have been easy to disprove then - right?" No, in fact. Almost impossible to disprove. How does Kavanaugh prove that he didn't rape her in a room at someone's house, 35 years ago? It was an asinine allegation. The one against Boden, at least, was brought by someone who told people back when it happened, that she was raped by a US Senator. That's waaaay more credibility than Ford had. I feel sorry for her, don't want anything bad to happen to her. But her story is a joke. "What exact tactics did the Ds do that the Rs "replicated"" I said that the GOP should claim that Bidens nominee raped someone 35 years ago. That would be replicating the lefts tactics.

The Kavanaugh allegation was dismissed and he’s on that court for life, and no sane person thinks he’s a serial rapist. I have everything. your side assumed kavanaugh was guilty and won’t consider that Biden might be guilty. that’s hypocrisy too. he has daughters and he coached their basketball teams, and not a whisper about anything improper.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device No, you don't have anything. The thread is about the R's hypocrisy in crying about Biden saying he will nominate a Black woman yet have a history of doing basically the same thing. Jim in CT 02-02-2022, 12:52 PM No, you don't have anything. The thread is about the R's hypocrisy in crying about Biden saying he will nominate a Black woman yet have a history of doing basically the same thing. yes i understand he was nominated. that’s all this was, a desperate attempt from your side to stop his confirmation. it didn’t work, and the country saw it for exactly what it was. When trump said he was nominating a woman, they had already decided that Barrett was next up. When Biden made that promise years ago, he had no one in mind because he had no way of knowing when there’s be a vacancy. he was trying to appease Congressman Clayburn to help him win the SC primary. but i agree, there’s gop hypocrisy in being ok when republicans say it and attacking biden. if biden knew who he wanted when he made that promise, i’m ok with it. making that promise so speculatively, is stupid. it’s a smart political move for him. he’ll get a much needed bounce from it. there’s also hypocrisy in the left, for believing a crazy allegation against a republican, but dismissing a less flimsy allegation against Biden. Paul, there's also blatant hypocrisy on the right when it comes to spending, they didn't say anything when Trump added trillions to the debt, then they go berserk when Biden does it. Plenty of unethical behavior on all sides, sadly.
