what if the best candidate is asian? was that the case with Trump's appointments your concern was abortion talk about Myopic what’s the upside, other than politics?
“on cue playing the affirmative action card”.
what do you call it, POTUS prerogative when someone says a job can only be filled by a specific skin color and gender?Who ever said that Jim ? Now Whos making up stuff again
how is that not a violation of anti discrimination law? clearly you're not a lawyer
ones skin color and gender are random accidents. they don’t say anything about you. they don’t say anything about ones ability or character. sorry if that’s going too fast for you. whats to fast is your upset before a choice has been made because you were told to be upset let that sink in
it’s very smart politics in that party. but that’s all it is. gives biden a political win which he desperately needs, and it’ll fire up his base.
pure politics. and he’s playing it well. Now you pivot back to its just Politics

Ahh yes Jim Trump made campaign promises and you hailed him as a hero Fulfilling his promises .
Ronald Reagan fulfilled his 1980 campaign promise to place a woman on the Court, which he did with the appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor.
Biden does the same thing yet you cry about it .
ones skin color and gender are random accidents.
But OMG out of 115 justices, 110 (95.7%) have been men. All Supreme Court justices were males until 1981, So using your logic Jim Regan Put O Connor on the bench 1 for politics 2 Affirmative action 3 it don’t say anything about one's ability or character. or 4 what if the best candidate is asian?
One choice not on your list for Regan or Biden it's the right thing
and they checked all the boxes . Women, competence , experienced, |

if your side is hurt that the court was all men 150 years ago, that’s the best evidence i’ve ever seen, that liberals really need to grow a pair. that’s how the world was then. we’ve fixed that.
i said here it was stupid for trump
to limit it to a woman, though Barrett is superbly qualified. it’s too important. you’re not going to catch me in stupid hypocrisy, that’s your playbook, not mine. you’re the one incapable of holding his side to any standards.
Some idiot on cable news said that clarence thomas doesn’t represent blacks on the court. FFS It’s not his job to represent blacks. it’s his job to represent the Constitution. How can gender or color matter?

these days..."woman" is not necessarily a "limit" particularly for the left as we know that a "woman" is anyone that says they are a woman |

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

[QUOTE=scottw;1221507]imagine if Regan announced beforehand and specified.."white woman" [/QUOTE
We’re you asleep in the 80’s there were no other women but white woman in the conservatives world
Jimmy Carter He appointed more African-Americans in four years than Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush combined appointed in the course of nearly 20 years.
Keep enjoying your own version of history and white victim hood
That evil Biden said he was going to pick a Black women. How’s that not discrimination. Boo hoo

none of those presidents stated publicly they would exclude anyone based on color...biden stated publicly he'd exclude people, specifically "women" based on color..that's pretty racist |
